# Default administrator account elements

There are several predefined Administrator Roles and Access Control Lists that help you configure Administrator permissions. You cannot edit the predefined elements.

The following table describes the predefined Administrator Roles that you can optionally use instead of or in addition to customized Administrator Roles you create. All permissions listed here are always applied to a specific set of elements that you define.

Table 1. Predefined administrator roles
Administrator role | Permissions given
--- | ---
Editor | Editors can: View the properties of elements. Send commands to engines, refresh policies, upload policies, and browse logs and alerts (if applied to components that send logs). Create, edit, and delete elements.
Operator | Operators can: View the properties of elements. Send commands to engines, refresh policies, upload policies, and browse logs and alerts (if applied to components that send logs).
Owner | When an administrator creates an element, the administrator is automatically set as an owner of that element. Owners can: View the properties of elements. Create, edit, and delete elements.
