Adding Admin Users
Adding an admin user differs slightly from adding an end user. If your admin user is also an end user, that is, the admin user's devices will be secured under Mobile Protection, an extra step is needed, as described below.
In order to add admin users and assign permissions, you must be an admin user with full permissions.
This procedure describes the two methods that are available for adding an admin user:
Adding Admin Users From the Users & Groups Tab
Using this method creates an admin user who has admin permissions only within SecureAnywhere Mobile Protection.
To add an admin user from the Users & Groups tab:
- Log in to the SecureAnywhere website.
- Click the Go to Mobile Protection button.
The Mobile Protection console displays with the Status tab active.
- Click the Users & Groups tab.
The Users & Groups tab displays.
- Click the Add a user icon.
The Add User window displays.
- In the First Name field, enter the admin's first name.
- In the Last Name field, enter the admin's last name.
- In the Email field, enter the admin's email.
- All users require a valid email address or they will not be enrolled.
- Each email address must be unique within SecureAnywhere.
- From the Group drop-down menu, select the group to which the user will be added.
- Select the Administrator checkbox.
- Click the Save button.
- The new admin user receives a confirmation email with instructions and a link that they must click on to complete the registration.
- Once the new user has been confirmed, they display in your list of users.
- By default, the new admin user has access to the Mobile Protection console, but cannot remove users, add admin users, or change permissions.
- To change this admin user's permissions, from the drop-down menu select Manage Users, display the user, and make your changes on the Access & Permissions tab.
- To enroll a device for this admin user, highlight the user name and click the Enroll button.
The user receives another confirmation email, which includes a link to the app, a temporary password, and instructions for installing the app on the device.
- Once the user has confirmed, you can change the default group assigned to that user.
- If a user has more than one device, you can add and enroll additional devices from the Devices tab and assign them to the appropriate user.
