Security is a critical part of any system. Device management for your phone system is no different.EZ UDM Pro uses two roles, admin or administrator, and Auditor. Additionally


, When the system is first setup there is a default account, admin. We recommend that the admin account only used for initial setup and if other administrative accounts cannot log in. Create unique accounts for each user that will administer the system and assign the users the admin role.


Admin Account – The admin account is a hard-coded account with full permissions to the entire system. The admin account should be used for setup of the system and if all other accounts are otherwise unable to access the system. The reasoning is that you cannot audit who is doing what to your system if all users that administrate it are using the admin account.
Admin Role – Creating an account for a person that will administrate your system should have a unique account for that person with the admin role assigned. This will allow all actions to be tracked if there are potential issues, and you need to understand what happened from the person that may have seen the issue occur.
Auditor Role The Auditor role seems to have disappeared? Or can there only be one auditor? And, even though the JWeaver account is listed as an auditor, the option is not available on that user account, either. Nor do I have any current guidance on the AUDITOR role– The auditor role is a role that allows someone who will monitor the system and forensically investigate issues, but not be able to change settings. Essentially, this role when assigned to a user account allows the user a read-only login capability. This role is a good fit for a person in your Information Security area or compliance.We recommend you create additional roles with more limited access to use for individual users.
