Hierarchy of Administration Servers

An MSP may run multiple Administration Servers. It can be inconvenient to administer several separate Administration Servers, so a hierarchy can be applied. A "primary/secondary" configuration for two Administration Servers provides the following options:

• A secondary Administration Server inherits policies and tasks from the primary Administration Server, thus preventing duplication of settings.
• Selections of devices on the primary Administration Server can include devices from secondary Administration Servers.
• Reports on the primary Administration Server can contain data (including detailed information) from secondary Administration Servers.

The primary Administration Server only receives data from non-virtual secondary Administration Servers within the scope of the options listed above. This limitation does not apply to virtual Administration Servers, which share the database with their primary Administration Server.
