Restore to a different location option grayed out
Hi
A user with 'Backup/Restore Operator' privilege at sub-domain when trying to restore data option 'restore everything to a different location' is disabled or grayed out.
I even tried giving administrator rights for Sub-domain but still option 'restore everything to a different location' is disabled.
Is this normal behavior? I want to allow user to be able to 'restore to different location' but access must be limited to sub-domain.
Please below picture for reference.

Yes it is expected behavior but can be changed easily by updating a config file.
See the link for the solution when I asked about this:

To enable a sub-domain admin or restore only operator (and backup/restore operators also) to be able to do a redirected restore, you have to update the mcserver.xml file.
For detailed information, please see the following threads:

Hey,
To enable a sub-domain admin to be able to do a redirected restore, you will need to update the mcserver.xml file.
Change the value for “admin_can_direct_restores “ this from “false” to “true” like this:
You will need to restart MCS for the setting to take effect.
admin_can_direct_restores - If true, then domain administrators can perform directed
restores.
restore_admin_can_direct_restores - If true, then domain restore (read) only operators can
perform directed restores.

Thanks a lot Bill_Clarke, Tim Quan and Leo Li.
I updated the mcserver.xml file and now restore admin can restore to different location.
One again thanks for Support. Have a good day ahead.
