Admin Profiles
Administrator profiles are used to control administrator access privileges to system features. Profiles are assigned to administrator accounts when an administrator is created.
Pre-defined profile types
There are three predefined administrator profiles, which cannot be modified or deleted:
- Super Admin: All functionalities are accessible.
- Read Only: Can view certain pages. This profile cannot change any system settings.
- Device: Can view certain pages for assigned devices. This profile cannot change any system settings.
-
Netshare: Can view certain pages for assigned network share, and supports Prioritize Netshare Scan. This profile cannot change any system settings.
All previous created users in earlier builds are mapped to these three default profiles.
Only the Super Admin user can create, edit, and delete administrator profiles and new users if the user is assigned Read Write privilege in System > Admin.
