Security Manager administrators
Security Manager Help | Web, Data, and Email Protection Solutions | v8.5.x
When a Security Manager administrator account is created, the administrator is given access to one or more Security Manager modules.
Administrators can be given either simple "access" or "access and account management" permissions for a module. By default, the following permissions are allocated:
*
Web Security module
*
Access: The administrator is not added to any roles and can only access the pages Status > Dashboard and Status > Alerts.
*
Access and account management: The administrator is added to the Super Administrator role with unconditional permissions.
Administrator permissions can be changed in the Web Security module on the page Policy Management > Delegated Administration.
*
For the Data Security module, regardless of which option is selected, the administrator is assigned the Default access role, with access to the pages Incidents & Reports, Dashboard, and My Settings.
Administrator permissions can be changed in the Data Security module on the pages Settings > Authorization > Administrators and Settings > Authorization > Roles.
*
Email Security module
*
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 the Email Security module on the page Settings > Administrators > Delegated Administrators.
Administrators with account management permissions can also edit and delete other administrator accounts in the Security Manager, subject to the limitations of their permissions.
Administrators who log on to the Security Manager with a local user account can also change their own password (see Viewing your account information).
Once shared administrator accounts have been configured, an administrator logged on to one Security Manager module (for example, the Data Security module) can use the Security Manager toolbar to switch to a different module without needing to log on a second time.
