Managing accounts of application administrators and users

Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform provides accounts for servers with the following components:

Sensor. Administrator account for managing the application web interface, the application administrator menu, and the server management console (in Technical Support Mode).
The "admin" account that was created during component installation is used by default.
Sandbox. Administrator account for managing the application web interface, the application administrator menu, and the server management console (in Technical Support Mode).
The "admin" account that was created during component installation is used by default.
Central Node. The following accounts:
- Administrator account for working in the application administrator menu and in the server management console (in Technical Support Mode).
  The "admin" account that was created during component installation is used by default.
- Administrator account of the application web interface.
- Application web interface user accounts with the Security auditor, Security officer, and Senior security officer roles.

Data from each of these accounts is stored on the server hosting the application component to which the account belongs.

In distributed solution and multitenancy mode, data from each of these accounts is stored on the PCN and on the server hosting the application component to which the account belongs.

The administrator account used for working in the server management console has unlimited rights to manage the server hosting the application component to which the account belongs (superuser rights). Under this account, you can turn off or restart a server, or modify the settings of the application in Technical Support Mode in the server management console.

An administrator account for working in the management console of a server (admin) has unlimited access to data on that server. The password of the administrator account for working in the server management console must be strong. The administrator must take steps to ensure the security of the servers. The administrator bears responsibility for access to data stored on servers.

You can use an account with the Administrator role to manage application user accounts as well as application settings that are available to administrators of the application web interface. In distributed solution and multitenancy mode, user accounts are managed on the PCN.

An account with the Security auditor role can view all sections of the web interface available to administrators and security officers. A user with the Security auditor role can view data but cannot edit this data.

The Senior security officer and Security officer roles are intended for employees of your organization whose job description involves managing events, alerts, tasks of Kaspersky Anti Targeted Attack Platform and managing response actions. When logged in to the application under accounts that have these roles, you can see all sections of the application web interface that are available to security officers. Users with the Senior security officer role have access to all operations. The restrictions for users with the Security officer role are listed in the table below.
