Workspace mode for restricted administrators

Workspace mode for restricted administrators

Workspace mode is supported for restricted administrators. For more information on Workspace mode, see Workspace.

When Workspace mode is enabled on an ADOM (or all ADOMs), a lock icon appears next to the ADOM name for the restricted administrator.

Clicking the lock icon will allow restricted administrators to create, edit, and delete profiles. Once changes have been completed, the the administrator can click the unlock icon. Clicking the lock icon as a restricted administrator does not lock the whole ADOM, and IPS, Web Filter, and Application Control objects can still be edited by other local and restricted administrators.

When a local administrator locks an ADOM, the entire ADOM is locked, and restricted administrators will have read-only access permissions to the ADOM until it is unlocked. The lock icon and ADOM name is displayed in red to indicate the ADOM is locked.

Note

Restricted administrators with read-only access permissions will not see the lock icon when Workspace mode is enabled.

Caution

Workflow mode is not supported for restricted administrators. See Workflow mode.
