Add an administrator

You can add administrator users to the management console to grant those users the ability to control and configure your
Cylance Endpoint Security
 environment. Existing and newly added administrator accounts are displayed on the User page (Assets > Users) in the management console. You can add the Administrator column to display an Administrator account icon icon beside each administrator account. The screens that an administrator user can view in the management console, and the features that the user is able to configure and change, depend on the role that you assign to that user. For more information on roles and permissions, see Permissions for administrator roles.
  1. In the management console, on the menu bar, click
    Settings > Administrators
    . Do any of the following:

      Note that if a user is assigned Zone Manager for at least one zone, they will inherit some Zone Manager abilities such as the ability to view the list of device policies, download the installer, and view the global list.
