Create / Delete: Admin Roles

System > Create / Delete: Admin Roles

The Create / Delete page creates, renames and deletes administrator roles. The paging area displays all the administrators belonging to each administrator role. Administrators are assigned to administrator roles using System > Membership.

Administrator Roles

Administrators can belong to none, one, or more administrator roles. If an administrator is assigned to multiple roles, and any one of those assigned roles provides access to a function, then the administrator has access to that function. The following policies are assigned by administrator role:

• Access to machine group IDs using System > Group Access
• Access to VSA modules and functions using System > Function Access
• Access to the entire VSA by weekday and hour using System > Logon Hours
• Remote control user notification using Remote Control > Admin Role Policy

In addition, scripts and agent installation packages can be shared by administrator role. Standard administrators can only see other administrators who are members of the same roles.

Function Access of Created Administrator Role

If a standard administrator creates a new administrator role, the new role gets the same function access as the standard administrator, except for any master-only functions that may have been assigned the currently logged on standard administrator.

Deleting Administrator Roles

You can delete an administrator role even if administrators are assigned to it. The Master role cannot be deleted. Server management configuration and other specialized functions apply to the master administrator role only. See System > Function Access for more information.
