Managing Administrator Accounts Parent topic

To reduce bottlenecks in administering IMSVA, you can delegate administrative tasks to other staff by creating new administrator accounts. After creating the accounts, assign the desired permissions to the various areas of the management console. The default "admin" account has access to all IMSVA features.

Adding Administrator Accounts Parent topic

Created accounts have three permission settings for IMSVA features:
  • Full: Users have complete access to the features and settings contained in the menu item.
  • Read: Users can view features and settings contained in the menu item, but cannot modify them.
  • None: Users will not see the menu item, preventing them from viewing or configuring any of the settings in the menu item.

Procedure

  1. Go to AdministrationAdmin Accounts.
    The Admin Accounts screen appears.
  2. Click Add.
    The Add Administrator Account screen appears with the Authentication tab displaying.
  3. Specify authentication settings:
    1. Select Enable account.
    2. Select an authentication type:
      • IMSVA Authentication: Specify the user name, new password, and the new password confirmation.
      • LDAP authentication: Specify the LDAP user name.
  4. Click the Permissions tab.
    The Permissions screen appears.
  5. Specify Permissions settings:
    1. Select Full, Read, or None for each of the following access areas that appear on the IMSVA management console menu:
      • Summary
      • Cloud Pre-Filter
      • Policy
      • IP Filtering
      • Reports
      • Logs

    2. Click Save.
    Note
    Note
    Only the default IMSVA administrator account can add new administrator accounts. Custom administrator accounts cannot do so even if you assign full permission to the Administration area.
    Custom administrator accounts with full administration rights can only change their own IMSVA passwords. If you forget the default administrator account password, contact Trend Micro technical support to reset the password.
