Managing Administrator Accounts

To reduce bottlenecks in administering IMSVA, you can delegate administrative tasks to other staff by creating new administrator accounts. After creating the accounts, assign the desired permissions to the various areas of the Web management console. The default "admin" account has access to all IMSVA features.

Adding Administrator Accounts

Created accounts have three permission settings for IMSVA features:

Full: Users have complete access to the features and settings contained in the menu item.
Read: Users can view features and settings contained in the menu item, but cannot modify them.
None: Users will not see the menu item, preventing them from viewing or configuring any of the settings in the menu item.

To add administrator accounts:

Choose Administration > Admin Accounts from the menu. The Admin Accounts screen appears.
Click Add. The Add Administrator Account screen appears, displaying the Authentication tab.
Specify Authentication settings:

Select Enable account.
Select an authentication type:

IMSVA Authentication: Type the user name, new password, and the new password confirmation.

The password must be between 4 and 32 alphanumeric characters.

LDAP authentication: Type the LDAP user name.

Click the Permissions tab. The Permissions screen appears.
Specify Permissions settings:

Select Full, Read, or None for each of the following access areas that appear on the IMSVA Web management console menu:

Summary
Cloud Pre-Filter
Policy
IP Filtering
Reports
Logs
Quarantine & Archive
Administration
Command Line Interface

Click Save.

1. Only the default IMSVA administrator account can add new administrator accounts. Custom administrator accounts cannot do so even if you assign full permission to the Administration area.

2. Custom administrator accounts with full administration rights can only change their own IMSVA passwords. If you forget the default administrator account password, contact Trend Micro technical support to reset the password.
