SSH Tectia Manager provides role-based administrator accounts. An administrator in this document refers to an administrative user who deploys, configures, and/or monitors the SSH Tectia end-to-end security solution using SSH Tectia Manager. You can configure administrator groups with different access rights to the management operations.

With SSH Tectia Manager, you can also create free-form views into the managed host environment. Each view contains a different hierarchical grouping of the hosts of the managed environment. The views and groups are used to define the hosts for management operations and environment reports.

The structure and organization of the current IT operations should be examined when planning the structure of the administrator groups and host views in SSH Tectia Manager.
