Configuring Authorization

Use the Settings > Authorization menu to configure authorization options for the Data Security module of the Forcepoint Security Manager. Authorization options are used to:

• View and edit administrator permissions.
  • Administrators are the people who manage the Forcepoint DLP system.
  • Administrator accounts must first be defined under Global Settings > General > Administrators before they appear in the Data Security module of the Security Manager.

  See Defining administrators.

• Set up roles, such as the Super Administrator, Basic, and Auditor, to define groups of administrators with similar permissions. Each role has its own set of permissions.

  See Working with roles.

• Configure personal settings for your own administrator account.

  See Customizing your own administrator account settings.
