In addition to or instead of EFT Server-managed administrator accounts, in EFT Server Enterprise, users can authenticate via Active Directory (AD). For remote connections, the connecting account must have access to the computer on which EFT Server is installed. The authentication scheme last used to log in is saved locally and displayed the next time you attempt to log in to EFT Server. Password complexity, expiration, and so on for AD accounts are managed by the AD server rather than EFT Server.
You can add users and groups as administrator accounts and the user or group appears in the Admin account names list on the Server's Administration tab. If a user account is added to EFT Server only as a part of a group, the user assumes the permissions of its group. If the user is a member of multiple defined groups, the permission (role) and assignment(s) allocated to the group that provides the most privileges are assigned to that user.
Refer to Local Computer Administrators Group for more information about accessing EFT Server using the administrator credentials for the local computer.
Refer to Adding Server Administrators for details of creating an EFT Server administrator account that uses AD-based authentication.
