Situation

When you are a administrator for only a certain domain in the system you are not able to create a restore area regardless the domain you are connected to.

STD

- Add userX in the Domain administrators tab (System, Administrators) and assign him to a secondary domain

- Logout and login as userX

- Try to create a new restore area from System, Restore area management

Regardless the domain you are connected to it always reports the error


Restore are "undefined" creation failed

Resolution

This is currently working as designed because restore areas are defined as system level objects.  No plan to change this.  If this is something that is needed, please submit it via our Ideas portal
