Security Manager Help | Web, Data, and Email Protection Solutions | November 30, 2021
Use the Forcepoint Security Manager to manage Forcepoint Web Security, Forcepoint DLP, and Forcepoint Email Security configuration, policies, and reporting from a central management console.
To facilitate this centralized management, Global Security Administrators (including the default admin account) can use the Global Settings pages to create and configure administrator accounts with:
*
Full management access to all Security Manager modules
*
Full management access to a single Security Manager module
*
Limited access (for example, reporting-only access) to one or more Security Manager modules
See Introducing administrators.
 
* 
Note 
Changes to Global Settings (such as new administrator accounts) can take between 30 and 90 seconds to propagate to other Security Manager modules.
Global Settings can also be used to:
*
View account information and change passwords. See Viewing your account information.
*
Set up a connection to a directory service to allow administrators to use their network accounts to log on to the Security Manager. See Setting user directory information.
*
Configure a connection to an SMTP server so that administrators can receive email notifications when they are granted access to the Security Manager or when their account changes. This also allows administrators to request a password reset, when needed. See Setting email notifications.
*
Configure two-factor authentication for administrators. See Configuring two-factor authentication.
*
Audit administrator logon attempts and changes to Global Settings. See Global Settings audit log.
