User permissions for remote console

We have Backup Exec running on a Windows 2011 SBS server. Another employee usually swaps the drives, and I want him to be able to do limited trouble-shooting. To that end I have set up the console on his PC, so he can connect to the backup agent on the server and see what the job status is. However, to connect, the console requires a username and password (as well as the server name).

I can connect successfully using the admin account, but I do not want to give him the admin password, so I want to modify his user account so he can connect with that (or create a new account for this purpose).

So here is my question: What permissions does this user account need to be able to connect to the backup agent?
