Administration Web Interface Accounts
For the administration Web UI, it is recommended that customers create an account for each person who will access the
platform, and log in using each administrator’s account. Each administrator should be placed in a group commensurate
with that administrator’s privilege level.
This will:
• Enable actions to be traced to specific individuals.
• Improve the user-friendliness of the administration experience, as only relevant icons will be visible.
• Improve security, since facilities that may not be accessed by a specific level of administrator will be hidden or inacces-
sible.
For more information about creating administrator accounts on the Web UI, refer to User Roles on page 3-11 .
