Adding Administrators

Web Security Help | Web Security Solutions | Version 7.8.x

Super Administrators can use the Delegated Administration > Edit Role > Add Administrators page to specify which individuals are administrators for a role.


	Note Administrators can be added to multiple roles. These administrators must choose a role during logon. In this situation, the administrator receives the combined reporting permissions for all roles.

Delegated administrators have significant control over the Internet activities of their managed clients. To ensure that this control is handled responsibly and in accordance with your organization's acceptable use policies, Super Administrators should use the Audit Log page to monitor changes made by administrators. See Viewing and exporting the audit log.

If you plan to assign network accounts as delegated administrators, make sure you are logged on to the Policy Server whose Settings > General > Directory Service configuration (see Directory services) matches the TRITON Settings > User Directory configuration.

If you are adding only local accounts as administrators, you can be logged on to any Policy Server.

Under Local Accounts, mark the check box for one or more users, and then click the right arrow button to move the highlighted users to the Selected list.

Under Network Accounts, mark the check box for one or more users, and then click the right arrow (>) button to move them to the Selected list.


	Note Custom LDAP groups cannot be added as administrators.
