For each of the users you elect to carry out some of the administrative tasks within RiskFilter you need to:
•Create an account for each user (administrator).
•Add their appliance IP address as an authorized user. Once you have created an account for the administrator you can add the IP address of their machine to the RiskFilter console so that RiskFilter will recognize them as an authorized user. This will give you an extra level of security as, without it, the RiskFilter console will be accessible from anywhere.
•Select the parts of RiskFilter that they are allowed to manage. These tasks are divided into groups called Managed Modules. The following table contains an explanation of each module.
Table 1 Managed Modules
