3 min. readlast update: 10.22.2021

The "Administrators" tab is located in the menu under the ThreatLocker logo on the left-hand side of the portal.

After you've chosen your organization and managed it, the Administrators tab will populate any and all relevant admins for your organization. This guide will talk about the different buttons found on this part of the portal.

New Administrator

undefined

This button is used for creating a new administrator for your organization. The menu offers details to create the account e-mail address, password, and offers 2-factor authentication with a SMS phone number entry. The checkbox will allow any future requests to be sent to the e-mail address provided. If you utilize "Duo", you can opt to use that as a 2-factor authentication method instead.

Invite

undefined

This box allows the user to enter their own information instead. It's the more technically secure way to add a new administrator -- due to the sole fact that knowing somebody else's password may lead to a future compromise. After having this invitation sent, the user will automatically appear in the administrator's tab regardless if they accept or deny the invitation.

Delete & Reset Password

undefined

Deleting will allow you to delete any administrators selected via the checkbox on the left-hand side of the "Edit" button on the administrator's row. You can freely delete a single or more entity so long as they're highlighted -- or highlight all with the checkbox included in the screenshot (below "New Administrator").

Search Bar, Date Created, and Last Login

undefined

The search bar allows you to search via Username. If you have many Administrative users, this is a handy tool for narrowing down your search. ThreatLocker defaults the username to their proprietary ThreatLocker login e-mail address to access the portal.

Date Created is simply the date on which the Administrator was created. The last Login is the specific timestamp and date on which the Administrator logged in through the portal.

Edit

undefined

The "Edit" button can be found next to the username on the "Administrators" tab. The button highlighted in yellow unlocks the ability to change the account e-mail address -- effectively renaming the administrator as shown below.

undefined

"Notify on request" will once again allow all requests for the organization (and it's child organizations) to be sent to this e-mail address provided.

undefined

"Cell Phone for 2-Factor Authorization

undefined

This box will allow a particular entered SMS number to be added for the Administrator account. If you utilize "Duo", you can opt to use that as a 2-factor authentication instead.

"Add and remove the user permissions as required"

undefined

By choosing from a list of dropdowns, you can add permissions for the newly-created or invited Administrator to have. This ranges from view only to editing, and even manage approval authority. "Super Admin" allows all permissions available, and "Super Admin - Child" allows all permissions to child organizations from your organization directory.
