    Thumbs up to the above!yes

    Prior warning though, if you have lots of groups, then it's gonna take a while crying.  Essentially, you'll need to create a new Limited Administrator account, put a tick beside the "Manage Groups" option under the "Access Rights" tab, then go through every group and switch the permissions to "Read-only" access (even for inheriting groups).

    Incidentally, with the "Manage Groups" option enabled, you also have the option to allow the Liminited Admin to run specific commands (if you so wish), even on Read Only groups

    Hi,

    Thank you for posting in Symantec community.

    You can create limited administrators with necessary access/rights.

    You can create additional administrators as per business requirement.To add new administrator first time you need to login with 'admin' account.

    1. In the console, click Admin. On the Admin page, click Administrators.

    2. Under Tasks, click Add an administrator.

      After you add an administrator account, you can change the user name by clicking Edit the administrator.

    3. In the Add Administrator dialog box, on the General, Access Rights, and Authentication tabs, specify the account information.

      Click Help for more information.

    4. Click OK.

    Nopes, as I mentioned in my post, it's a right pain but the only way I'm aware of is to go through the entire "Manage Groups" list and assign rights (Full/None/Read-Only) for each oneas required crying

    Obviously, this is not ideal in your case.  Perhaps it'd be worthwhile creating an "IDEA" on these forums to enhance the permissions assignment interface for Limited Admins?  If it garners enough support from the community then Symantec may introduce it in the future...

    Missed James' post!  Ignore me then.
