+Adding new [[object:volume|Volumes]] to TapeTrack using Lite can be achieved using one of two methods depending on the outcome required.
-===== Adding New Volumes Via Volume Management =====
+===== Prerequisites =====
-Once logged into to Lite, select ''Volume Management''  from the **Task Menu** and click ''Next'' to continue.
+To add new [[object:volume|Volumes]] you will need to have, at the minimum, read/write/alter access associated with your User-ID.
+If you don't know if you have ''alter'' access rights you can check with your TapeTrack Administrator or continue with the process to add the new [[object:volume|Volumes]] and check the results.  If you do have ''alter'' rights, the [[object:volume|Volumes]] will be added successfully, if you don't you will receive an error stating ''Security does not allow this operation''.
+If you find you don't have ''alter'' rights, you will need to contact your TapeTrack administrator to either upgrade your access credentials or have them add the new [[object:volume|Volumes]] for you.

+If you would like assistance in providing the required information to your TapeTrack administrator (or Vaulting Service) please contact us via the [[common:support_details|Helpdesk]].
