The Administrators list is used to manage all Global and Domain administrators that have been designated in SecurityGateway.

Global Administrators have complete control over all settings and options in SecurityGateway, even over other administrator accounts and settings. For this reason you should exercise caution before designating an account as a Global Administrator.

Domain Administrators can access all settings and options relevant to the domain over which they have been given authority. They cannot edit global settings or access settings specific to other domains. When designating a domain administrator you must select at least one domain for the user to administer.

The Administrator list has three columns: Enabled, Email, and Real Name. The Enabled column contains a checkbox for each entry, which can be used to quickly enable/disable the administrator account. The Email column lists the administrator's email address, which is used for logging into SecurityGatewaythe administrator account does not have to be local account belonging to one of your SecurityGateway domains. The Real Name column lists the user's real name (e.g. Frank Thomas). To edit an administrator, double-click the desired entry in the list or select it and then click Edit on the toolbar at the top of the page. This will open the Edit Administrator screen.

The toolbar at the top of the page contains the following fours options:

New

Click New to open the New Administrator screen, used for creating a new administrator account. This screen is identical to the Edit Administrator screen.

Edit

Use the toolbar's Edit button to open the Edit Administrator screen corresponding to the entry currently selected in the list. Alternatively, you can also open the screen by double-clicking an entry.

Delete

To delete one or more administrators, select the entry from the list and then click Delete. A box will open asking you to confirm the decision to delete the administrators. You can select multiple entries by using the Ctrl and Shift keys.

For Domain:

Use the For Domain: drop-down list box to choose which administrators to display in the list. By default all administrators are displayed, but you can choose "-- Global --" to display only Global administrators or pick a domain from the list to display only that domain's administrators.
