About Predefined Roles

Your Management Server includes many predefined administrative roles that you can use to manage your Fireboxes that are centrally managed by your Management Server. You can also define custom roles, as described in Define Roles and Role Properties.

If your device is not centrally managed, you can create user accounts on your single Firebox that use the Device Administrator, Device Monitor, and Guest Administrator roles.

For more information about how to use role-based administration on your Firebox, see Manage Users and Roles on Your Firebox.

This list includes all available predefined roles and the actions they are allowed to take.
