File Server Properties: Admin Permissions

The list shows the specific users or groups who have been granted or denied permission to administer this file server.

In order to manage this file server a user must have Admin Permission and must be assigned to an administrative role that enables file server administration.

In order to assign and manage roles, run the Administration Console as the Vault Service account, right-click the Directory container in the left pane of the Administration Console and, on the shortcut menu, click Authorization Manager.

Note:

When this Admin Permissions list is empty all administrators in an appropriate role have access to this file server. When you add someone to this list with either Grant or Deny access, the access is then restricted to the Vault Service account and those Enterprise Vault administrators to whom you give Grant access and who are in a suitable role.

Add. To add a user or group to the Admin Permissions list, follow the steps below in the order listed:
- Click Add.
  
  If this is the first entry on the list, there is a warning that adding an entry to the list restricts access to those users with "Grant" access. Click OK.
- Select the users you want to add from the Add Users and Groups list. Click Help if you need more information on how to do this. Click OK to close the Add Users and Groups list.
- Click to select a user you have added and then, under Permissions, click Grant or Deny as required.
- Add "Grant" or "Deny" permissions to other users as required.
Remove. To remove a user or group from the list, click to select the user or group and then click Remove.

Note that, if you remove the last entry from the list, access will be granted to all administrators who are in a role that enables them to administer this file server.
