Hierarchy of Administrators

Top  Previous  Next

Hierarchical view of administrators is a tree which represents a structure of administrative groups and administrators accounts. Administrative groups and their members (administrators accounts) both can be nodes of such tree. Each administrator can be a member of only one group. Nesting level of groups in a tree is not limited.

Predefined groups

After installing Dr.Web Server two groups are automatically created:

Administrators. The group initially contains only admin user with a full set of privileges. The admin user is automatically created during Dr.Web Server installation (see below).

Newbies. The group is initially empty. Administrators with external type of authentication, such as LDAP, Active Directory or RADIUS, will be automatically moved to this group.

Administrators of the Newbies group have read-only access by default.

Hierarchical Lists Displaying

In the hierarchical list of anti-virus network: administrator sees only those user groups, which are granted in the View groups of stations properties permission. All system groups are also displayed in the anti-virus network tree, but only stations from the specified user groups list are available inside.

In the hierarchical list of administrators: administrator from the Newbies group sees only a tree, the root node of which is a group of this administrator, i.e. sees administrators from the own group and its subgroups. Administrator from the Administrators group sees all administrators not depending on their groups.
