Host Access Manager provides five levels of access permissions:

•

Administrator: Administrators have full read/write permissions on the cluster. This level can be used by a master administrator with full responsibility over the configuration.

•

Day-to-day Admin: Day-to-day administrators have limited permissions. They have no authority on the server or cluster configuration other than changing their password in the cluster properties.

•

Group Admin: Group administrators have limited permissions on a specific group.

•

Manager: Managers have read-only permissions on almost all the configuration items. The only change that a Manager can perform is to reset a user's password using the right-click shortcut menu on the user name. This level can be used by technical support personnel to unlock users who repeatedly enter the wrong passwords more times than permitted, or resetting their passwords when they forget them.

•

Monitor: Monitors have read-only permissions. This permission can be used to monitor the status of the cluster services and connected sessions without taking action.

Administrator permissions details the specific permissions each administrator type is given.
