The Edit Administrator screen is used to edit an existing Global, Domain, or Quarantine administrator or to create a new one. You can reach this screen by clicking New on the Administrators page or by selecting an entry in the list and clicking Edit. On Edit Administrator you will specify whether the administrator corresponds to a local account or is an external user, and you will provide the admin's local mailbox or external email address, password, and full name. You will also designate whether or not the user is a Global, Domain, or Quarantine admin.
Properties
Local Users - member of a local domain
Choose this option if the administrator account will correspond to a local account belonging to one of you SecurityGateway domains.
External - not a member of a local domain
Administrators need not correspond to a local user account. They can be external users with an external email address. Choose this option if you wish to designate this administrator as an external user.
Mailbox or Email Address
If you choose the Local Users option above, you will enter a Mailbox for the administrator and then choose a local domain from the drop-down list box. If you choose External, then you will simply enter the administrator's external Email Address. In both cases, the administrator's email address is used to log in to SecurityGateway.
Full Name:
Use this space to enter the administrators name (e.g. Frank Thomas).
Password:
This is for the administrator's password, used for logging in to SecurityGateway.
Password (confirm):
Whenever a new password is entered, you must retype it into this box to confirm that it was typed correctly.
This account is disabled
Click this checkbox if you wish to disable the administrator's account.
Type
Use these options to designate the type of Administrator: Global, Domain or Quarantine.
Global Administrator
Global Administrators have complete control over all settings and options in SecurityGateway, even over other administrator accounts and settings. For this reason you should exercise caution before designating an account as a Global Administrator.
Domain Administrator
Domain Administrators can access all settings and options relevant to the domain over which they have been given authority. They cannot edit global settings or access settings specific to other domains. When designating a domain administrator you must select at least one Available Domain for the user to administer.
Quarantine Administrator
A Quarantine Administrator can view and manage the user quarantine queue for the domains to which he or she has been given access.
Available Domains:
This box lists all of the SecurityGateway domains over which the domain or quarantine administrator can be given access. To give the administrator control over one or more of these domain, select the domains from the list and click the "--->" arrow.
Selected Domains:
This box lists all of the SecurityGateway domains over which the domain or quarantine administrator has been given control. To remove a domain from this list, select it and then click the "<---" arrow.
Can view the content/source of domain user's messages
This option applies to messages that SecurityGateway has retained according to your Database | Data Retention settings. Messages that are queued for delivery to a Domain Mail Server and messages that are quarantined are always retained. This option does not apply to archived messages.
Can Create Domains
Check this box if you wish to allow the Domain Administrator to create new domains. The administrator will be automatically added as a Domain Administrator for any domains that he or she creates. This option is disabled by default.
Domain creation limit: [xx] domains
When a Domain Administrator is allowed to create domains, by default up to five domains can be created. You can change this limit to whatever number you wish to allow, or you can disable the option if you do not wish to set a limit.
