Contacts; Server Settings And The Behaviors They Control - McAfee EPOLICY ORCHESTRATOR 4.0.2 Product Manual

Configuring ePolicy Orchestrator Servers

Contacts

What happens when I install new products?
When a new product extension is installed it may add one or more groups of permissions to
the permission sets. For example, when you install a VirusScan Enterprise extension, a VirusScan
Enterprise section is added to each permission set. Initially, the newly added section is listed
in each permission set with no permissions yet granted. The global administrators can then
grant permissions to users through existing or new permission sets.
Default permission sets
ePolicy Orchestrator 4.0.2 ships with four default permission sets that provide permissions to
ePolicy Orchestrator functionality. These are:
• Executive Reviewer — Provides view permissions to dashboards, events, contacts, and can
view information that relates to the entire System Tree.
• Global Reviewer — Provides view access globally across functionality, products, and the
System Tree, except for extensions, multi-server roll-up data, registered servers, and software.
• Group Admin — Provides view and change permissions across ePolicy Orchestrator features.
Users that are assigned this permission set each need at least one more permission set that
grants access needed products and groups of the System Tree.
• Group Reviewer — Provides view permissions across ePolicy Orchestrator features. Users
that are assigned this permission set each need at least one more permission set that grants
access needed products and groups of the System Tree.
Contacts
Maintain a list of email addresses that ePolicy Orchestrator uses to send email messages to
specified users in response to events. Currently this list is used by Notifications, queries, and
export functionality.

Server settings and the behaviors they control

Various settings control how the ePolicy Orchestrator server behaves. You can change most
settings at anytime. However, you must reinstall the software to change the name of the server
or the port number the server uses for HTTP communication.
Types of ePO server settings are:
• Email server — Sepcifies the email server that is used when ePolicy Orchestrator sends email
messages.
• Event Filtering — Specifies which events are forwarded by the agent.
• Global Updating — Specifies whether and how global updating is enabled.
• MyAvert Security Threats — Specifies proxy settings and the update frequency for the
MyAvert Security Threats service.
• Ports — Specifies the ports used by the server when communicating with agents and the
database.
• Printing and exporting — Specifies how information is exported to other formats, and the
template for PDF exports.
