Administrator Roles in CSA MC

Administrators can have different levels of CSA MC database access privileges. The initial administrator created by the CSA MC installation automatically has configure privileges. When you create new administrators on the system, you can give them on of the following roles.

CSA MC Administrator Roles:

•Configure—This provides full read and write access to the CSA MC database.

•Deploy—This provides full read and partial write access to the CSA MC database. Administrators can manage hosts and groups, attach policies, create kits, schedule software updates, and perform all monitoring actions.

•Monitor—This provides administrators with read access to the entire CSA MC database. Administrators can also create reports, alerts, and event sets.

See the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents User Guide for

Administrator configuration details.

Administrator Authentication

CSA MC allows administrators logging into the system to be authenticated either through the local configuration database or via LDAP authentication. If you intend to use LDAP authentication, LDAP server information must be entered in CSA MC. See the Management Center for Cisco Security Agents User Guide for Administrator LDAP authentication details.
