5.2. Types of Administrators

 

This section contains information about administrators, account data of which is stored in the Enterprise Server DB.

 

There are four types of administrator accounts:

Full-rights administrators.

Read-only administrators.

Group administrators with full-rights.

Group administrators with read-only rights.

Full-Rights Administrators

Administrators with full rights have exclusive rights to the administration of Enterprise Server and of the whole network. They can view and edit the configuration of the anti-virus network and create new administrator accounts of both types. An administrator with full rights can configure the anti-virus software of a workstation, limit and disable user intervention into the administration of the anti-virus software on the workstation (see p. Setting Users’ Permissions).

Full-rights Administrator can view and edit the list of current administrator accounts.

Read-Only Administrators

Administrators with read-only rights can only view the settings of the anti-virus network and its separate elements, but cannot modify them.

Group Administrators with Full-Rights

Group Administrators have access to all system group and those custom groups which they are allowed to manage (including nested groups). Group Administrator accounts could be created for custom groups only (see System and User Groups). Only those groups which such administrators are allowed to access are displayed for them in the hierarchical tree.

The list of current administrator accounts is not available for Group Administrators.

Group Administrators with Read-Only Rights

You can grant Group Administrators with full-rights to manage their groups as well as read-only rights.

Default Administrators

After Server is installed, the admin account for administrator with full rights is created automatically. Access password for this account is specified during the Server installation (step 15 in the installation procedure).
