Administrator Help | Forcepoint Email Security | Version 8.4.x
The Email Security module user interface can be divided into the following main areas:
1.
Security Manager banner
2.
Left navigation pane
3.
Right shortcut pane
4.
Content pane
The Forcepoint Security Manager banner provides:
*
Access to the Security Manager product modules
*
Icons to access the Manage Appliances and Global Settings pages
*
An icon to access product Help information
*
Your current logon account
*
A Log Off button, for when you want to end your administrative session
The content displayed in the Email Security module varies based on the privileges granted to the logged on user. A user who is a reporting administrator, for example, does not see server configuration settings or policy administration tools.
This section describes the options available to users with Super Administrator privileges.
Clicking the Appliances icon opens the Manage Appliances page, which lets you register new appliances and access all Forcepoint appliances in your network.
Clicking the Global Settings icon opens the Global Settings page, which lets you:
*
Manage your administrator account.
*
Add other Forcepoint Security Manager administrators and assign them appropriate permissions.
*
Specify and configure the desired directory service for Security Manager administrators.
*
Configure administrator account notification message details.
*
Enable and configure two-factor authentication to the Security Manager.
*
Audit administrator logon attempts and changes to Global Settings.
See the Forcepoint Security Manager Help for more details.
Clicking the Help icon provides access to Explain This Page context-sensitive Help, complete Help system contents, helpful initial configuration setting information, and the Forcepoint Support Portal.
The left navigation pane, just under the module tray, gives you access to 2 groups of menu items: Main and Settings. Use the Main menu to access email software status, reporting, and policy management features and functions. Use the Settings menu to perform system administration tasks. Hover over a menu item to view and select individual configuration screens. The toolbar also includes a drop-down list of system appliances.
The right shortcut pane contains a Find Answers portal that may include links to topics related to the active screen. A search function lets you find relevant information in the Forcepoint eSupport web site. The right pane also includes links to common administrative tasks. Click an item in the list to jump to the page where the task is performed.
The right navigation pane can be minimized by clicking the double arrow (<< or >>) icon at the top of the pane. Click the reverse icon (>> or <<) to view the pane.
