Adding an administrator account
As your network expands or changes, you may find the number of administrators insufficient to meet your needs. You can add one or more administrators. As you add an administrator, you specify the administrator's capabilities and constraints. As a system administrator, you can add another system administrator, administrator, or limited administrator. As an administrator within a domain, you can add other administrators and limited administrators, and configure their rights.
See About administrators.
Warning:
If you create a new administrator account for yourself, you can override your own logon user name and password.
To add an administrator
In the Add Administrator dialog box, enter the administrator name.
This name is the name with which the administrator logs on and by which the administrator is known within the application.
Optionally enter the full name of the administrator in the second text box.
The password must be six or more characters. All characters are permitted.
To configure the authentication method, click Change.
The default value is Symantec Management Server Authentication. You can configure when the password expires for the default method, or change the authentication method.
Select one of the following administrator types:
Administrators can run reports on all groups. If you migrated from Symantec AntiVirus 10.x, and you want the administrator to run reports for these migrated server groups, click Reporting Rights.
