Advanced Security Implementations 87
For example, as a ColdFusion Server administrator, you’ll probably want to assign
Administrator access to one or two other users, thus ensuring you’ll have backup
administrators and your company won’t have to forgo administrative support if
you’re away. You might also want to create a class of Privileged access administrators
who can manage all aspects of the ColdFusion environment except Basic and
Advanced security. Users with Restricted administrative access can function as
ColdFusion super users. You could assign Restricted access to one or two members of
each development team. That way, development teams can add and configure their
own data sources, but can’t access other teams’ data sources, and can’t alter the
ColdFusion environment in any significant way.
For detailed instructions for securing the Administrator pages, see “Securing the
ColdFusion Administrator” on page 102 .
