Overview

In Kerio Connect, you can set admin access rights to:

• Public folders
• Archive folders
  • Information for these 2 can be found here: Assigning Administrator Rights to Manage Public and Archive Folders
• Kerio Connect Administration (see below)

Administrator accounts and access rights

In Kerio Connect, there are two types of administrator accounts:

• Users with special access rights to the administration - this is detailed in our Providing Administrator Rights when Creating or Editing Users guide
• Built-in administrator - tackled in this guide

Enabling the built-in administrator account

In Kerio Connect, you can enable a special administrator account. This account is available only for accessing the administration interface.

The built-in admin account:

• Has username Admin
• Doesn't count into your license
• Has whole server read/write rights
• Doesn't have an email address and message store

To enable the built-in admin account:

1. Go to section Configuration > Administration Settings
2. Select Enable built-in administrator account
3. Type a password for this administrator. The username is set to Admin and cannot be changed from the UI.
4. Click Apply.

If you wish to disable the built-in admin account, just unselect the Enable built-in administrator account option in Configuration > Administration Settings.

The same rules as for disabling other admin accounts apply.
