Security Management Server Virtual - AdminHelp v9.8
87
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 Remote Management Console or
Compliance Reporter Interface.
