This guide describes the options available to the admin account. Delegated administrators may see a subset of the features described. See Delegated Administration and Reporting for more information.

The banner

The banner, located at the top of the browser page, shows:

The user name associated with your administrative logon account

A Log Off button, for when you're ready to end your administrative session

The TRITON toolbar

The TRITON toolbar, located under the banner, allows you to:

Move between modules of the TRITON Unified Security Center.

Connect to Appliance Manager for any V-Series Appliances deployed in your network.

Configure global TRITON Settings that affect all installed modules.

Access Help, tutorials, product information, and Websense Technical Support resources.

The Web Security toolbar

The Web Security toolbar, located under the TRITON toolbar, is used to:

Switch between the Main and Settings tabs of the left navigation pane.

See which Policy Server you are currently connected to, and switch between Policy Server instances, if applicable (see Working with Policy Server).

View your administrative Role, switch between roles, or release policy permissions for the current role.


	Tip If you have policy management and reporting permissions, but only reporting features are displayed, another administrator may be logged on to the role. Only one administrator at a time can access policy management features for each role.

View Pending Changes (via the small magnifying glass icon) and Save and Deploy pending changes. If there are no cached changes waiting to be saved, these buttons are disabled.

See Reviewing, saving, and discarding changes for more information.

The left and right navigation panes

The left navigation pane has two tabs: Main and Settings. Use the Main tab to access status, reporting, and policy management features and functions. Use the Settings tab to manage your Websense account and perform global system administration tasks. (Note that the Settings tab displays different options depending on your subscription level.)

The right shortcut pane contains links to useful tools and information.

Find Answers provides links to articles, webinars, videos, worksheets, and tutorials to help you complete your tasks. Use the Search box to find more information in the Websense eSupport Knowledge Base.

The Toolbox contains quick lookup tools that you can use to verify your configuration. See Using the Toolbox to verify policy enforcement behavior for more information.

Both the left and right navigation panes can be minimized by clicking the double arrow (<< or >>) icon at the top of the pane. Click the reverse icon (>> or <<) to view the pane.

Mouse over a shortcut icon on the minimized left navigation pane to see a menu of related features without maximizing the pane.
