Understanding User Accounts

There are four kinds of accounts in Control Manager: Operator, Power User, Administrator, and Root. Control Manager creates the Root account upon installation; you need to create accounts for different types of users.

The root and administrator accounts can see all the functions in the menu, use the activated services, and install agents.

Control Manager now supports Active Directory users. Active Directory users can gain all the same rights that Control Manager users can have.

Additional Root Account Privileges

The root account also has the following additional privileges:

Only the root account can see all user accounts on the server; other accounts can only see their child accounts
The root account can unlock a locked function by forcibly logging out the user who is using it

Control Manager accounts are for logging into Control Manager only, and not the entire network. Control Manager user accounts are not the same as network domain accounts.

The following table shows all the features that each account can access.
