Introduction

Delegated administration provides an effective way to distribute responsibility for Forcepoint Web Security and Forcepoint URL Filtering configuration, policy management, reporting, and compliance auditing to multiple individuals. For example:

• Allow individual managers to set policies and run reports on users in their teams.
• Give local administrators for regional offices or campuses policy management permissions, as well as some access to local configuration options, but limit reporting access to protect end-user privacy.
• Ensure that Human Resources can run Internet activity reports on some or all clients, identified by user name or IP address.
• Grant auditors access to view all configuration and policy management screens in the Web module of the Forcepoint Security Manager without the ability to save changes.

The sections that follow detail the main concepts of delegated administration, and then provide specific configuration and implementation instructions.
