About security levels

Please note that the security level you grant to a user will determine what they can access and do in File Protection Online.

If you grant Administrator rights to a user, they can:

  • Manage your team's users and devices.

  • Set other users as Administrators.

  • Configure and schedule reports on team activity.

  • Be notified of alerts concerning your team.

  • Restore data for users, including restoring data to devices of other users, if necessary.

  • Deploy to devices.

  • Configure and manage backup profiles.
  • Set security policies.

These are all useful features that will help your Administrators resolve user issues quickly and ensure business continuity with a minimum of disruption. That said, please carefully consider security when granting Administrator privileges.
