Creating and Configuring Secure Access Device Administrator Roles (NSM Procedure)

An administrator role specifies Secure Access device management functions and session properties for administrators who map to the role. You can customize an administrator role by selecting the Secure Access device feature sets and user roles that members of the administrator role are allowed to view and manage. You can create and configure administrator roles through the Delegated Admin Roles page.

Note: To create individual administrator accounts, you must add the users through the appropriate authentication server (not the role). For example, to create an individual administrator account, you may use settings in the Authentication > Auth. Servers > Administrators > Users page of the admin console.

To create an administrator role:

In the NSM navigation tree, select Device Manager > Devices. Click the Device Tree tab, and then double-click the Secure Access device for which you want to configure administrator role.
Click the Configuration tree tab, and select Administrators > Admin Roles.
Click the New button and the New dialog box appears.
Click General > Overview to add or modify settings as specified in Table 11.
Click one:
- OK—Saves the changes.
- Cancel—Cancels the modifications.
