Adding administrators

Getting Started Guide | Forcepoint Web Security Cloud

To add additional administrators, go to the Account > Contacts page. Your administrator contacts can be given a portal login, and permissions to manage certain features, as well as policy-level permissions, allowing them to view or modify settings for particular policies.

This allows you to delegate responsibility for administration to particular departments.

Best practices for administrator access

As a best practice, set the administrator's initial password to a randomly generated string that meets the minimum password requirements, and require that the password is changed when the administrator first logs on, using the Change password next log on option.

Configure password policy settings for your account that require passwords to expire automatically after a set number of days, and that lock users out after a number of incorrect login attempts.


	Tip For further security, enable two-factor authentication, requiring the administrator to use a supported authenticator app (such as Google Authenticator) to access the portal. See Two-factor authentication in the Web Security Cloud help.
