User's Guide

User Types
The Admin User uses four templates to create user accounts with permissions. These templates are:
• Admin—read and write access to all areas of AirDefense server and sensor administration, including
creation of other admin users.
• Guest—Gives users read permission to Alarm Management, Reporting, and Analysis Tools. No access
is provided for the other functional areas.
• Help desk—Gives users read/write permission to Connection Troubleshooting. No access is provided
for all other function areas.
• Operation Center—Gives users read/write permission to all functional areas except Appliance
Management, Network Management, and System Configuration. No access is provided for these
three function areas.
Use the Admin User account to bypass templates and to customize the user accounts to fit your unique
needs.
System Access Limitations
Your particular AirDefense configuration will aect what fields you may access, regardless of your user
type. Some of the features described in this guide may not appear in the interface, or may be grayed
out, depending on whether they are enabled or disabled.
Example:
If Air Termination is disabled, you will not see options for using it.
If the Admin User who configured your user account only assigns you a specific scope (network level)
to access, you will only be able to view or use data for the part of the network assigned to you.
