In the legato GUI "user groups" window

Try putting in administrator@* in the administrators group


This is dangerous advice and I would recommend everyone not to take it.
Putting a * anywhere in the administrators list is not a good idea,
especially after the @. All it takes is someone to connect up a Windows
PC to your LAN and as administrator on that PC they then have full
access to your NetWorker server. NetWorker is a powerful tool and if you
control it you effectively can control every machine you backup. It
doesn't take a genius to figure out  a couple of ways for a NetWorker
administrator to compromise both the NetWorker server and your clients.
