can create a list of administrator accounts that define who has access to Traffic Manager and which activities
they can perform.

To create a list of administrator accounts:
1. Access Traffic Manager from your browser (refer to Accessing Traffic Manager‚ on page 8).
2. On the Configure tab, click the Security button.
The Security page opens displaying the Control Access to the Traffic Server Manager section at the top
of the page.
3. Click the Additional Users link to open the Additional Users page.
4. Click the Add Entry button to open the Add Entry dialog box (shown below).
