About administration roles in the Enterprise Vault Administration Console

Enterprise Vault provides the following mechanisms that you can use to control the access administrators have to the Administration Console:

You can control access by assigning roles, or by using admin permissions, or both.

When you install or upgrade to Enterprise Vault 8.0, only the Vault Service account can access the Administration Console. You can restrict the tasks administrators can perform by assigning roles and you can further restrict access by using admin permissions to restrict administrators to managing specific Administration Console containers.

Roles-based administration enables you to use Microsoft Authorization Manager to configure the various administrator roles. All such configuration is performed using the Vault Service account.

For instructions on setting up roles-based administration, see the Administrator's Guide.
