Creating and managing users

 

If the default user provided by does not adapt to the protection needs of your network, you can create new users and assign different types of permissions to them, depending on what you want each user to manage.

In the main console window, click Users.

The Users window distributes information in three columns: Name, Permissions and Status. As you create users, these appear in the list, along with the type of permissions that you have given them and their status (enabled or disabled).

You may need to create new users and assign them different permissions for management and control of groups. makes this very easy for you.

  1. Click Create new user to access the Users - Edit users window. Fill out the User name, Login Email, Password and Repeat password fields.

  2. You can add information in the Comments section.

  3. In Groups, select the group/subgroup or groups/subgroups that the administrator or monitoring user will have permissions on. Users with total control permissions can act on all groups.

  4. Click OK.

If you create an administrator user with permissions on a group (and all of its subgroups), and you add a new subgroup to it, the user will automatically have permissions on that subgroup as well.

If you create an administrator user with permissions on some subgroups in a group, and you add a new subgroup to it, the user will NOT automatically have permissions on the new subgroup.

In the main Users window, check that the user has been created and that the user's name, permissions and status appear correctly in the list.

To remove a user, select the relevant checkbox and click Delete.
