Add an administrator

You can add administrator users to the management console to grant those users the ability to control and configure your Aurora Endpoint Security environment.

Existing and newly added administrator accounts are displayed on the User page (Assets > Users) in the management console. You can add the Administrator column to display an Administrator account icon icon beside each administrator account. The screens that an administrator user can view in the management console, and the features that the user is able to configure and change, depend on the role that you assign to that user. For more information, see Permissions of default administrator roles.
  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click Settings > Administrators. Do any of these actions:
    • Add a new administrator:
      1. In the Add users section, in the Enter email field, type the user's email address
      2. In the Select role list, click a role. For more information, see Add a role.
      3. If you selected a zone manager or user role, in the Select Zone list, click a zone.
      4. Click Add.

        Aurora Endpoint Security sends an email to the new administrator user with a link to create a password.

    • Change an administrator role:
      1. Click an administrator user.
      2. In the list, click a new role.
      3. If you selected the Zone Manager or User role, do these actions:
        1. Choose the Default Zone Role to assign to the user when a new zone is created. The default is None.
        2. Adjust the user's role for each zone accordingly.
        Note: If a user is assigned Zone Manager for at least one zone, they will inherit some Zone Manager abilities such as the ability to view the list of device policies, download the installer, and view the global list. However, the user could only perform Zone Manager abilities on devices that are in zones where they are assigned the Zone Manager role. Likewise, the user could only perform User abilities on devices that are in zones where they are assigned the User role.
      4. In the dialog, enter your password.
      5. Click Save.
  2. On the menu bar, click Assets > Users. Do any of these actions:
    • To add or remove columns, click Column change icon and select the columns that you want to view.
    • To sort users in ascending or descending order by a column, click the column.
    • To filter users by a column, use the filter field and icon for the column.
    • To view only administrator accounts, click Column filter icon and set the Administrator option to True.
