About user groups
Symantec Network Security provides efficient, role-based administration using
four user groups with predefined sets of permissions and access: SuperUser,
Administrator, StandardUser, and RestrictedUser. During installation of the
master node, a user login account is created for a SuperUser with full
permissions. The SuperUser can then create additional accounts in any of the
four groups, at any time after installation.
The Symantec Network Security software and the Symantec Network Security
7100 Series appliance are both based upon the same core architecture that
provides detection, analysis, storage, and response functionality. Both the
software and the appliance utilize the core functionality in the same way, and
the group permissions described in this appendix apply to both.
About group permissions
Symantec Network Security grants specific sets of permissions and access to
each of the four user groups: SuperUser, Administrator, StandardUser, and
RestrictedUser. The four groups and their respective permissions are
predefined, and SuperUsers cannot modify them.
The SuperUser manages all accounts from the Network Security console by
logging into the master node, and the user database is then synchronized across
all slave nodes in a cluster.
The installation procedure prompts for a passphrase. At a later time, change
this passphrase or add new passphrases by clicking Admin > Manage Users in
