The administrator mode

 

The administrator mode allows administrators to change the settings of the protection installed on end users' computers from the computers themselves without having to access the Web console. To use the administrator mode you'll have to enter an administrator password.

To access the administrator mode, click the Administrator Panel link and enter your administrator password.

Evidently, if any of the computer users knows the administrator password, they will also be able to modify the protection settings and enable and disable the antivirus and firewall protections.

 

Changing the protection status

After you enter the administrator password, the administrator panel appears. This will show information about the protection installed on the computer and will let you enable and disable the different protection modules.

Changes and validity

Any changes made to the protection settings will be temporary. When logging out, the administrator will have to select the time that these changes will be valid for. Otherwise, they will be valid for a maximum of 6 hours if no other changes are made.

During that time, the endpoint protection will ignore any configuration changes it might receive from the servers. Alfer that time, the changes will be canceled, and the endpoint protection will once again abide by the configuration established for the relevant profile in the Web console.
