Administrators

Administrators use the VSA application to maintain the KServer and oversee the monitoring of managed machines by the KServer and its agents. KServer management configuration and other specialized functions can only be performed by master administrators. Standard administrators are typically restricted to the administration and monitoring of managed machines. A background of two alternating shades of beige designates master administrators.

Standard administrators can only see other administrators who are members of the same roles.
