Security Management Server Virtual v10.2.7 AdminHelp
93
There are 11 types of administrators. Distributed administration is key to the secure administration of
your environment. It allows you to divide roles appropriately among your administrators and ensures the
proper level of privileges are assigned to each administrator. A single administrator can have privileges
of more than one administrator type. However, it is recommended to have a maximum of one super
administrator (an administrator who has privileges of all administrator types).
The following table shows the tasks each administrator can perform in the Management Console or
Compliance Reporter.
