Adding EFT Server Administrators

You can give other users access to the administrative functions of EFT Server by creating an administration account for them in EFT Administrator. For security and for compliance with the PCI DSS, you should not create more than one administrator with full control over EFT Server.

To create an administrator account

  1. In EFT Administrator, connect to EFT Server and click the Server tab.

  2. In the left pane, select the Server to which you want to add an administrator account.

  3. In the right pane, click the Administration tab.

  4. Click Add. The Administrator Password dialog box appears.

  5. Define a user name for the account.

  6. Define and confirm a password for the account or click Generate to generate a strong password.

    7. Passwords are case-sensitive.

    The new user appears in the Admin Account Names box.

  7. Click one of the delegate options. If you select Site, Settings Level, or Change password, the assignment dialog box appears. (The Site assignment dialog box is shown for example.)


     

  8. To assign the Sites or User Setting Levels that this account will manage, select one or more items in the Available box, then double-click the selection or click Add, then click OK. The assignment appears in the Assigned to list.

  9. Select the COM (automation) and Auditing and Reporting check boxes if you want this account to have administrator access to these functions.

  10. In the Password Security area, select the Enforce strong (complex) passwords to ensure that when any administrator changes a password for any administrator account, password complexity is enforced. See Enforcing Complex Passwords for Admin Accounts for details, if necessary.

  11. To expire the administrator account after a certain number of days, select the check box, then type or use the arrows to specify the number of days. See Expiring Administrator Passwords for details, if necessary.

    		12.

    The password security and expiration options apply to all administrator accounts defined on this Server.

  12. Click Apply to save the changes on EFT Server.
