■
Use the Administrators page to create, modify, and delete appliance administrator accounts.
■
Use the Notification Page Options page to configure the look, text, and behavior of the
various notification pages that the Web Appliance shows to end users.
Note: The Notification Page Options page is not available on a joined Web Appliance, as this
functionality has been shifted to the Management Appliance.The Administrators page is renamed
Local Administrators on a joined Web Appliance, as accounts created on a joined system are
available only on that system.
4.1.1 Administrators
On a joined Web Appliance this page is named Local Administrators, as accounts created on a
joined system are available only on the local system. An account created on a Management Appliance,
including Limited Access Administrator accounts, is referred to as a “global account”. Global
accounts can access the same features on any Web Appliance for which their role or roles grant them
permission.
The Configuration > Accounts > Administrators page allows you to create, modify, and delete
appliance administrator accounts. New appliance Administrators can be either Full Access
Administrators, who have access to all system management tasks or Limited Access
Administrators, who can only access the system management tasks for which they have been
granted permission.
