Central Manager users and roles

Prev Next

Trellix IPS enables the creation of users for various administrative functions. This enables selected entities (users/groups/business units) to manage specific domain resources.

User management in the Trellix IPS environment consists of creating users and granting them permissions. Network security requires careful planning when creating users to ensure the integrity of the environment. All users must authenticate at the Central Manager logon page before to performing any activities. The user name and password are securely stored in the database with matching permissions rules. A class of user permissions termed Roles determines the authorized activities of the various users in the system. Once a user logs in, the Central Manager makes available activities based on the role.
