Deep Security Manager 10 has reached end of support. Use the version selector (above) to see more recent versions of the Help Center.
Contacts
Users can create "Contacts". Contacts cannot sign in to the Deep Security Manager but they can periodically be sent reports (using Scheduled Tasks). Contacts can be assigned a "clearance" level that maps to existing Roles. When a Contact is sent a report, the report will not contain any information not accessible to a User of the same level.
From the Contacts page, you can:
- Create New Contacts
- Examine or modify the Properties of an existing contact
- Delete a contact
- Synchronize
with a Directory list
Clicking New or Properties displays the Contact properties window.
General Information
The name, description, and preferred language of this contact.
Contact Information
The email address entered here is the email address to which reports will be sent if this contact is included in a report distribution list. (See the Reports page for more information.)
Clearance
The Role specified here determines the information this contact will be allowed to see. For instance, if a computer Report has been scheduled to be sent to this contact, only information on the computers that his Role permits him access to will be included in the report.
Reports
Select whether or not reports will be encrypted for this User.
Synchronizing with a Directory
The Contact list can be synchronized with an Active Directory. Clicking Synchronize with Directory in the toolbar will display the Synchronize with Directory wizard. Type the address of the directory server and your access credentials. You will then be prompted to select which group of Users to import and whether they will be Users or Contacts. Once they've been imported, you are given the option to create a Scheduled Task to periodically synchronize with the directory to keep your list up to date.
