This is the master administrator account, with access to all features, whose password is assigned during the configuration wizard. In large organizations it is likely that administrator level access is granted to more than one person. One solution is to give all persons the master password; however, the recommended approach is to assign administrator rights to these individual’s network user accounts. The advantages of this approach are:
- They can access the administration pages using their own username and password (they don’t have to remember another password!).
- You can assign different levels of administrator access to the user.
- Most activity is audited so changes can be sourced to an individual.
You can assign administrator access at the group or user level. Assigning admin access to a group is convenient for giving the same permissions to multiple users. Assigning admin access to a user is useful when specific permissions are required.
