Enterprise Vault provides the following mechanisms that you can use to control the access administrators have to the Administration Console:
Roles-based administration. Many administrative tasks do not require all the permissions that are associated with the Vault Service account. Roles-based administration enables you to provide individual Enterprise Vault administrators with exactly the permissions required to perform their individual administrative tasks.
You can assign individuals or groups to roles that match their responsibilities and they are then able to perform the tasks that are included in those roles. Because the permissions are associated with roles, rather than with individual administrators, you can control the role permissions without having to edit the permissions for each administrator.
Admin permissions. You can grant or deny access to the following containers in the Administration Console tree:
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.
