"Contacts" are users who cannot sign in to the Deep Security Manager but can periodically
be sent reports (using scheduled tasks). Contacts can be assigned a "clearance" level
that maps to existing roles. When a contact is sent a report, the report will not
contain any information not accessible to a user of the same level. For example, three
contacts may each be listed as the recipients of a weekly summary report but the contents
of the three reports could be entirely different for each contact depending on their
computer rights.
