TRITON administrators

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

TRITON administrators are given access to one or more TRITON modules (Web Security, Data Security, Email Security). They can also be granted access to the Mobile Security portal, one or more appliances registered to the TRITON console, and one or more Content Gateway Manager instances.

Administrators can be given access to one or more modules, or access and account management permissions. The permissions these administrators have in each module depend on how administrators are configured within the module. By default the following permissions are allocated:

Web Security

Access: the administrator is not added to any roles, and can only access the Status > Dashboard and Status > Alerts pages.

Access and account management: the administrator is added to the Super Administrator role with unconditional permissions.

Administrator permissions can be changed in Web Security on the Policy Management > Delegated Administration page.

Data Security

All options: the administrator is assigned the Default access role, with access to the Incidents & Reports, Today, and My Settings pages.

Administrator permissions can be changed in Data Security on the Settings > General > Authorization > Administrators, and Settings > General > Authorization > Roles pages.

Email Security

Access: the administrator is assigned the default Reporting permissions.

Access and account management: the administrator is assigned Super Administrator permissions by default.

Administrator permissions can be changed in Email Security on the Settings > General > Administrator Accounts page.

For appliances, administrators can be given full access or limited access to the appliances registered in the TRITON console.

Full access enables the administrator to register and unregister appliances, and to access appliances directly from the TRITON console. Access is via single sign-on if configured (see Configuring an existing appliance for single sign-on).

Limited access enables the administrator to access appliances, but not register or unregister them. Access can be to all appliances, including those added subsequently, or to specifically selected appliances.

Administrators with account management permissions can also edit and delete other administrators in the TRITON console, subject to the limitations of the permissions they have been allocated.

Administrators who log on to the TRITON console with a local user account can also change their own TRITON password (see Viewing your account information).

Once shared administrator accounts have been configured, an administrator logged on to one TRITON module (for example, Web Security) can use the TRITON toolbar to switch to a different module (Data Security or Email Security) without needing to log on a second time.
