Editing a local account

TRITON Console Help | Web, Data, and Email Security Solutions | v7.8.x

Use the TRITON Settings > Administrators > Edit Local Account page to edit existing Websense user accounts.

To change the User name, enter a unique name up to 50 characters.

The name must be between 1 and 50 characters long, and cannot include any of the following characters:

* < > ' { } ~ ! $ % & @ # . " | \ & + = ? / ; : ,

User names can include spaces and dashes.

To change the administrator Email address, enter a valid address for the user.

This email address is used to send account information to the administrator.

To reset the administrator's Password, enter and confirm a password (4-255 characters).

Strong passwords are recommended: 8 characters or longer, including at least one each of the following:

uppercase letter

lowercase letter

number

special character (such as hyphen, underscore, or blank)


	Note If certificate authentication is enabled and password authentication is disabled on the TRITON Settings > Two-Factor Authentication page, password logon is not available for the local account.

To give the administrator full permissions across the TRITON console and all of the modules and appliances in your subscription, select Global Security Administrator.


	Note Only Global Security Administrators can create other Global Security Administrators.

To send account update information to the administrator via email, mark Notify administrator of the account changes via email.

To require the administrator to change the account password the next time he or she logs on to the TRITON console, mark Force administrator to create a new password at logon.

If certificate authentication is enabled on the TRITON Settings > Two-Factor Authentication page:

Click Certificate Authentication.

Browse to the location of the certificate that the administrator will authenticate against when logging on to the TRITON console.

Click Upload Certificate.

For more information, see Configuring two-factor authentication.

If this is not a Global Security Administrator account, use the Module Access Permissions options to update permissions for the administrator.

Choose a setting under each of the available options (Web Security, Data Security, Email Security) to give the administrator permissions to manage one or more of the TRITON modules. The options available depend on the modules in your subscription.

For each module, choose whether the administrator has:

no access to that module

only access to the module

both access and the ability to manage other administrators in that module.

For more information see TRITON administrators.


	Note You can assign access permissions only for the TRITON modules where you have management permissions.

If your deployment includes one or more appliances, you can grant the administrator:

no appliance access

full access to all appliances

limited access to appliances

If you select limited access, indicate whether the administrator can access all appliances or only specified appliances.

When you are finished making changes, click OK.
