Introducing administrators

The page Global Settings > General > Administrators is used to create and manage the accounts that administrators use to access the Security Manager.

Administrators can access the Security Manager to configure one or more security solutions, manage policies, generate reports, or perform some combination of these tasks. The specific permissions available depend on the type of administrator.

• Global Security Administrators have full access and management permissions in all available Security Manager modules. See Global Security Administrator.
• Other types of administrators have more restricted access to Security Manager modules. An administrator may be given permission to manage or audit one or more Security Manager modules using the same account. See Security Manager administrators.

Administrators can be identified using either network logon credentials or local accounts used only for the Security Manager. See Adding a network account, and Adding a local account.
