The Cluster Service must be a local admin on each server. The Cluster
Manager application is an MMC snap-in and can run wherever. Specific
cluster functions may need specific security role membership. I generally
give the person who administers a Cluster local administrator rights on each
node.

Thanks for the reply. The cluster manager appears to login with Windows
login: domain\Cluster. However, I cannot locate a domain user or a local
user named "Cluster". Am I missing something?

Are you sure? The cluster service account should be a domain-level account
with local admin rights on each node. There should be a domain account that
matches the service account.
