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.
