Chapter 6: Anti-Virus Network Administrators

It is recommended to appoint a reliable, qualified employer experienced in the administration of a local network and competent in anti-virus protection as an administrator of the anti-virus network. Such employer should have full access to the installation folders of Dr.Web Server. Depending on organization security policy and staffing situation, such employer should either be a local network administrator or work closely with such person.

To manage the anti-virus network, it is not necessary to have administrator rights on computers included in the anti-virus network. However, remote installation and removal of the Dr.Web Agent software is possible within a local network only and requires administrator’s rights in the local network, and checkout of Dr.Web Server requires full access to its installation folder.

When planning the anti-virus network, it is also recommended to create a list of persons to be granted access to the Control Center as required by their job duties, as well as a list of roles with respective responsibilities assigned to each role. An administrative group shall be created for every role. Specific administrators can be linked with the roles by having their accounts placed into administrative groups. If necessary, administrative groups (roles) can be grouped hierarchically as a multilevel system allowing for individual editing of administrative permissions for each level.
