Administration > Account Management > Account Types
Control Manager provides three default account types for administrators: Operator, Power User, and Administrator. Each account type has assigned permissions on select menu items on the Control Manager Web console. You can add permissions for menu items, but you cannot remove permissions for the default account types.
If the default account types are not flexible enough for an administrator's needs, administrators can now create their own account types. User-specified account types allow for any Control Manager Web console elements.
Managed product information displayed
on accessible menu items depends on the managed product/directory permissions
Control Manager administrators specify in an individual's user account.
Example: Bob and Jane are OfficeScan administrators. Both have
identical account type permissions (they have access to the same menu
items in the Web console). However, Jane oversees operation for all OfficeScan
servers. Bob on the other hand only oversees operation for OfficeScan
servers protecting desktops for the Marketing department. The information
that they can view on the Web console will be very different. Bob logs
on and only sees information that is applicable to the OfficeScan servers
his Control Manager user account allows (the OfficeScan servers for the
Marketing department). When Jane logs on she sees information for all
OfficeScan servers because her Control Manager user account grants her
access to all OfficeScan servers registered to Control Manager.
