Understanding Roles

EncrypTight User Guide

91

EncrypTight and the EncrypTight appliances each have unique roles that control different aspects of the 
product. The following sections describe the roles and how they differ:

●

●

EncrypTight has two user types: administrator and user. The EncrypTight administrator controls access to 
the EncrypTight application; it does not control access to the EncrypTight appliances. The EncrypTight 
administrator can create, modify, and delete other users and passwords, while the user can change only its 
own password. 

●

●

 

 

Roles on the appliance are associated with a set of privileges and tasks that a user is able to perform on 
the appliance, such as assigning passwords, defining configuration settings, or creating polices. 
User management is performed using ETEMS or the CLI commands. Roles can be associated with 
specific user names and passwords. This allows the ETEP to track which user performed an action on the 
appliance as opposed to simply the role that performed the action. Each role can be associated with more 
than one user name. 
ETEPs have two roles: Administrator and Ops. 

●

The Administrator has access to all of the appliance functionality. This includes assigning roles, user 
names and passwords to all appliance users, defining appliance configurations, and defining and 

Appliance reboot required.
