Web Help Desk Users

The AAA Server Administration Console Administrators, Device Managers, and Help Desk Operators have access to the Web Help Desk.

However, Audit Managers do not have access to the portal.

In addition, Administrators can restrict Help Desk Operator privileges to one (or more) specific groups. For more information, see Managing the ActivID AAA Server.
