Administrator accounts

Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.5.x

The page Settings > Administrators > Delegated Administrators lists all defined Email Security module administrators, their email address, account type, roles, and the administrator's current status (online or offline).

A new administrator is created with the role of Auditor. An Email Security module Super Administrator can assign a default role to a new administrator account or create a new role for that administrator. See Administrator roles for information about adding a new role and defining permissions.

The following table details the default roles available for selection:


Default Role	Description
Super Administrator	Administrators with this role have full access; they can add and remove administrators and edit the profiles and permissions of all other administrators.
Auditor	Administrators with this role can view all configuration settings but not change them.
Reporting Administrator	Administrators with this role can only edit, run, and schedule reports.
Security Administrator	Administrators with this role have access to all general settings and can add domains and set up routes and preferences. Permissions are identical to a Super Administrator, except they cannot manage other administrators.
Policy Administrator	Administrators with this role can create and manage policies only for the specific users or groups managed by this role. Permissions include reporting and quarantine management for these users and groups.
Quarantine Administrator	Administrators with this role can manage specific queues, troubleshoot from logs, and release messages to users from assigned queues.
Group Reporting Administrator	Administrators with this role can edit, run, and schedule reports only for users in specified groups.
