Administrator Objects

In organisations with a number of users in the IT support team, several users may need the ability to administer certain aspects of CN Pro without having the rights to configure all aspects.

Additional administrative users can be added with only partial rights.

To create a new administrative user, select New Administrator from the Administrators submenu as shown in Figure 5.29.

This will open the New Administrator page (Figure 5.30)

Figure 5.30 - Creating a new Admin User

To create a new Admin User, enter a unique Username and Password and select the rights for that user. Figure 5.30 shows a user called reports who only has the right to view reports and nothing else.

Place the rights for the user in the Allow box and click Add Administrator. A message will confirm the success, or otherwise, of the creation. Click Continue to open the Manage Administrators page (Figure 5.31).

Rights for the admin user cannot be changed nor can the admin user be deleted (Removed). All other administrative users can be Updated or Removed.

Do not allow logins to the control panel to expire: If you tick this check box your login session with the CensorNet web interface will never time out. We recommend that if you do set this option, you ensure that you log out yourself when not at your workstation.  Otherwise your users may re-configure your policies.

When an Administrative user logs in, they still see the normal overview page but if they attempt to navigate to a page for which they do not have the rights, a Permission Denied message will be displayed (Figure 5.32).
