Admins of the domain the Site Manager server is connected to and local administrator accounts are granted Site Manager access by default. Permissions for domain admins can be disabled by setting the registry value "Disable Default Admin Access" in the key "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Macrium\Site Manager" to 1. Local administrators will always have permission to access Site Manager. |
Role Based Permissions
Next to the Manage Provider button on the security settings page is the Manage Permissions button. Clicking this button will open the permissions management window.
Permissions are configured separately for each provider. Select the correct provider from the dropdown before configuring permissions.
A table listing the active permissions is below the provider selection field. Here the names of authorized users and groups are displayed. All members of an authorized group are given the permissions of that group (membership is applied transitively). Permissions can be deleted by clicking the Remove button. Click Configure to add permissions. Changes to permissions can be discarded by clicking cancel.
The structure of the directory is navigable through the tree on the left, which shows the folders and Organizational Units which have been configured on the domain. On the right is a table listing the users and groups in the selected folder. Rows can be selected to add corresponding permissions when the Add button is pressed.
All users and groups newly added to the active permissions listing are defaulted with the 'Viewer' role, this role is the lowest form of access granted by Site Manager. To increase a users or groups access further, select Edit from the Role column to access the role editor.
The role editor displays all role options available for selection. Select the roles required for the user or group and apply changed roles by clicking the Save button. Roles can be combined where required, selecting all the non-administrator roles is equivalent to granting the administrator role to Site Manager.
