    About DocAve Administrator for SharePoint

    As deployments expand and evolve, organizations must find ways to enforce governance policies,

    control site sprawl, and easily view and edit permissions across entire Microsoft SharePoint 2010,

    SharePoint 2013, or SharePoint 2016 environments. DocAve Administrator for SharePoint gives

    organizations the agility and control they require to easily meet these critical management

    Administrator for SharePoint challenges. Perform tasks on a single farm or hundreds of farms to ensure

    that SharePoint fulfills your specific business needs.

    DocAve 6: Administrator

    Before You Begin

    Refer to the sections for system and farm requirements that must be in place prior to installing and

    using DocAve Administrator for SharePoint.

    AvePoints Testing Policy and Environment Support

    Supported Software Environments

    AvePoint is committed to testing against all major versions and service packs of SharePoint as well as the latest versions of Windows Server and SQL Server, as Microsoft announces support and compatibility.

    *Note: AvePoint does not recommend or support installing DocAve on client operating systems.

    Supported Hardware

    AvePoint is committed to maintaining a hardware agnostic platform to ensure that DocAve operates on common Windows file sharing and virtualization platforms. To ensure that DocAve is hardware agnostic, AvePoint tests hardware that is intended to support SharePoint and DocAve infrastructure, storage targets, and hardware-based backup and recovery solutions, as supported by AvePoints partnerships. AvePoint directly integrates with the following platforms: any Net Share, FTP, Amazon S3, AT&T Synaptic, Box, Caringo Storage , Cleversafe, DELL DX Storage, Dropbox, EMC Atmos, EMC Centera, Google Drive, HDS Hitachi Content Platform, IBM Spectrum Scale Object, IBM Storwize Family, Microsoft Azure Storage, NetApp Data ONTAP, NFS, OneDrive, Rackspace Cloud Files, and TSM.

    All other hardware platforms that support UNC addressable storage devices are supported.

    *Note: AvePoint has ended the test and development for Caringo Storage and DELL DX Storage in DocAve since DocAve 6 SP7 CU1, as the providers of these two platforms have stopped the platform maintenance.

    *Note: Due to changes in the IBM Tivoli Storage Manager API, DocAve 6 Service Pack 6 and later versions require that TSM Client version 7.1.2 is installed on the Control Service and Media Service servers.

    *Note: Most of the hardware partnerships referenced in this guide are intended to make use of advanced functionality (such as snapshot mirroring, BLOB snapshots, indexing, long-term storage, WORM storage, etc.), and are not indications that any changes to the product are required for basic support. In most cases, hardware can be supported with no change to the product.

    Supported Backup and Recovery

    DocAve supports BLOB backup storage according to the list of hardware platforms above. BLOB snapshot function, however, is currently only supported on OEM versions and NetApp hardware.

    DocAve supports SQL content and Application database backups via the SharePoint Volume Shadow Copy Service (VSS) on all Windows and SQL server platforms listed above. DocAve also supports

  • 12

    DocAve 6: Administrator

    snapshot-based SharePoint VSS on all hardware listed above where the hardware partner has certified support with Microsoft.

    DocAve supports application and configuration server backups for all supported software environments listed above. DocAve 6 SP5 or later supports VM backup via Hyper-V/VMWare for the following operating systems: Windows Server 2008 R2, Windows Server 2012, Windows Server 2012 R2, and Microsoft HyperV Server 2012 R2.

    Configuration

    In order to use DocAve Administrator for SharePoint (hereafter referred to as Administrator), the

    DocAve 6 platform must be installed and configured properly on your farm. Administrator will not

    function without DocAve 6 present on the farm. For installation instructions, see the DocAve 6

    Installation Guide.

    Agents

    DocAve Agents are responsible for running DocAve jobs and interacting with the SharePoint object

    model. DocAve Agents enable DocAve Manager to communicate with the respective servers, allowing

    for Administrator commands to function properly.

    *Note: The use of system resources on a server increases when the installed Agent is performing

    actions. This may affect server performance. However, if the Agent installed on a server is not being

    used, the use of system resources is very low and, therefore, the effect on server performance is

    negligible.

    For instructions on installing the DocAve Platform, DocAve Manager, and DocAve Agents, see the

    DocAve 6 Installation Guide.

    Required Permissions

    Refer to the section below for the required permissions for installing and using DocAve Administrator on

    SharePoint on-premises and SharePoint Online environments.

    Administrator for SharePoint On-Premises Permissions

    To install and use Administrator for SharePoint on the SharePoint on-premises environment properly,

    ensure that the Agent account has the following permissions:

    1. Local System Permissions: These permissions are automatically configured by DocAve during installation. Refer to Local System Permissions for a list of the permissions automatically configured upon installation. If there are no strict limitations within your organization on the permissions that can be applied, you can simply add the DocAve Agent Account to the local Administrators group to apply all of the required permissions.

    DocAve 6: Administrator

    2. SharePoint Permissions: These permissions must be manually configured prior to using DocAve 6 Administrator; they are not automatically configured.

    User is a member of the Farm Administrators group. Since Administrator works across farms and on all SharePoint settings and configurations, this account is needed in order to provide the best and most complete quality of service.

    Full Control to all zones of all Web applications via User Policy for Web applications.

    Full Control to the User Profile Service Application related to the Web application where the personal site resides.

    3. SQL Permissions: These permissions must be manually configured prior to using DocAve 6 Administrator; they are not automatically configured.

    The permission for all databases related to SharePoint, including Content Databases, Configuration Database, and Central Administration Database.

    o For SharePoint 2010 and 2016, the Database Role of db_owner is required.

    o For SharePoint 2013, the Database Role of SharePoint_Shell_Access is required.

    *Note: The Agent account should have the Database Role of db_rbs_admin for

    the Content Database if RBS is enabled for this Content Database; however,

    when the DocAve Agent account has the SharePoint_Shell_Access role for

    Content Databases, Administrator has some limitations on moving site

    collection cross content databases and deleting orphan sites. For more

    information, see the following Knowledge Base article:

    http://www.avepoint.com/community/kb/limitations-for-docave-6-products-if-

    docave-agent-account-has-the-sharepoint_shell_access-role. AvePoint

    recommends that you assign the db_owner Database Role to the Agent

    account.

    *Note: The SharePoint_Shell_Access role can only be assigned via SharePoint

    2013 Management Shell. For instructions on how to assign this role to a user,

    refer to the following Microsoft technical article:

    https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607596.aspx.

    Database Role of db_owner for FBA database if forms based authentication (FBA) is enabled in SharePoint Web applications.

    Server Role of dbcreator and securityadmin in SQL Server.

    Administrator for SharePoint Online Permissions

    To install and use Administrator on the SharePoint Online environment properly, the Agent account and

    the account specified when adding the SharePoint Online or on-premises site collections to SharePoint

    Sites Group or when creating SharePoint Online site collections must have the following permissions:

    1. Agent account permissions:

    http://www.avepoint.com/community/kb/limitations-for-docave-6-products-if-docave-agent-account-has-the-sharepoint_shell_access-rolehttp://www.avepoint.com/community/kb/limitations-for-docave-6-products-if-docave-agent-account-has-the-sharepoint_shell_access-rolehttps://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607596.aspx

    DocAve 6: Administrator

    Local System Permissions: The permissions are automatically configured by DocAve during the installation. Refer to Local System Permissions for a list of the permissions automatically configured upon installation. If there are no strict limitations within your organization on the permissions that can be applied, you can simply add the DocAve Agent Account to the local Administrators group to apply all of the required permissions.

    *Note: If the registered site collections are SharePoint Online site collections, the Agent account

    is on the Agent machine that has network connection or has configured Agent Proxy Settings

    before registering SharePoint Online site collections.

    If the registered site collections are on-premises site collections, the Agent account is on the

    Agent machine that will run the Administrator job.

    2. Site Collection user permissions:

    Member of the Site Collection Administrators group of each site collection where you want to use Administrator.

    Creating SharePoint Online site collections

    o SharePoint Administrator

    in the specific SharePoint admin center site or the SharePoint account has the Full Control

    permission for All Zones in the Web application where the site collections reside.

    Getting Started

    SharePoint and the DocAve platform modules have common functionality. While some of this shared

    functionality is covered in this guide, the primary focus of this document is the functionality that is

    specific to the DocAve module.

    For information on the shared functionality not covered in this document, refer to SharePoint Help. To

    view tables presenting operations that are shared between DocAve and SharePoint at various levels,

    refer to Site Collection Level Operations.

    Refer to the sections below for important information on getting started with Administrator.

    Launching Administrator for SharePoint

    To launch Administrator and access its functionality, complete the following steps:

    1. Log in to DocAve. If you are already in the software, click the DocAve tab. The DocAve tab

    displays all modules on the left side of the window.

    2. From the DocAve tab, click Administration to view the Administration functions.

    3. Click Administrator to launch Administrator for SharePoint.

    Navigating DocAve

    DocAve mimics the look and feel of many Windows products, making for an intuitive and familiar

    working environment. While there are many windows, pop-up displays, and messages within DocAve

    products, they share similar features and are navigated in the same ways.

    Below is a sample window in DocAve. It features a familiar, dynamic ribbon, and a searchable, content

    list view.

    Figure 3: Navigating DocAve.

    1. Ribbon Tabs Allows users to quickly navigate between major DocAve modules.

    2. Ribbon Panes Allows users to access the functionality of the active DocAve module.

    3. Manage columns ( ) Allows users to manage which columns are displayed in the list. Click the manage columns ( ) button, and then select the checkbox next to the column name in the

    drop-down list.

    4. Filter the column ( ) Allows users to filter the information in the List View. Click the filter the

    column ( ) button next to the column and then select the checkbox next to the column name.

    5. Hide the column ( ) Allows users to hide the selected column.

    DocAve 6: Administrator

    Selecting Farms and Nodes

    To select farms and nodes, complete the following steps:

    1. From the Scope panel on the left, click the farm that contains the relevant SharePoint content. You can input a keyword into the Search box above the farm tree to filter out the relevant SharePoint content.

    2. Select the relevant content from which you want to perform further operations by clicking the checkboxes to the left of the content.

    3. After selecting content, you will be able to perform the procedures described throughout this guide.

    *Note: Nodes on different SharePoint farms cannot be selected at the same time. SharePoint Online site

    collections in both SharePoint 2010 and 2013 will be displayed in a SharePoint Online farm.

    *Note: Use Security Trimming to limit which objects specific users can see when browsing the farm tree.

    Security Trimming allows the user to view the site collections on the tree for which the user is a

    SharePoint user. This allows the user to expand the corresponding site collection node and perform

    actions on all SharePoint objects inside it. However, the user cannot perform actions at the Web
