Delegated administrators

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

Administrators are the individuals who can access the TRITON console. Depending on their permissions, in the Web Security manager they may be able to:

Log on and view some elements of the Web Security Dashboard, but take no other actions.

Access all configuration and management features of the Web Security manager, but save no changes.

Run reports on specific groups of clients, or on all clients.

Manage policies for specific groups of clients.

Have full configuration access to all features of the Web Security manager.

The specific permissions available depend on the administrator's role type (Super Administrator, policy management and reporting, or investigative reporting). See Delegated administration roles.

Global Security Administrators (like admin) define administrator accounts in TRITON Settings. These accounts may either be network logon accounts (defined in a supported directory service) or local accounts, used only to access TRITON. Once an account has been defined, the Global Security Administrator assigns each one a level of logon access to one or more TRITON modules.

The levels of Web Security access that can be granted to administrators are:

Access and account management, which grants unconditional Super Administrator permissions (see Delegated administration and reporting permissions).

Access, which allows the administrator to log on and view limited portions of the Status > Dashboard and Alerts pages only. Super Administrators can add those administrators to roles to allow them some level of additional policy management access, reporting access, or both.

Any administrator account that has been granted access to the Web Security module appears on the Delegated Administration > View Administrator Accounts page. These accounts are also listed on the Delegated Administration > Edit Role > Add Administrators page.

Only administrators that have already been granted Web Security access via TRITON Settings can be added to roles.
