Assigning security roles

In managing computer security, one important practice is to divide responsibilities and rights among various types of administrators and users.

NOTE: In a small organization or for individual use, these roles may all be held by the same person.

For HP ProtectTools, the security duties and privileges can be divided into the following roles:

●Security officer—Defines the security level for the company or network and determines the security features to deploy, such as Drive Encryption or Embedded Security.

●IT administrator—Applies and manages the security features defined by the security officer. Can also enable and disable some features. For example, if the security officer has decided to deploy Smart Cards, the IT administrator can enable both password and Smart Card mode.

●User—Uses the security features. For example, if the security officer and IT administrator have enabled Smart Cards for the system, the user can use the card for authentication.

Managing HP ProtectTools passwords

Most of the HP ProtectTools Security Manager features are secured by passwords. The following table lists the commonly used passwords, the software module where the password is set, and the password function.

The passwords that are set and used by IT administrators only are indicated in this table as well. All other passwords may be set by regular users or administrators.
