Permissions changes in ESET Remote administrator 6.5 and later

Before proceeding, please note important changes to user access rights and permissions in the latest versions of ESET Remote Administrator.

 

 

I. Create a new profile

A user must have the following permissions for the group that contains the modified object:

Functionality Read Use Write
Policies

A user must have the following permissions for each affected object:

Functionality Read Use Write
Groups & Computers

Once these permissions are in place, follow the steps below.

  1. Open ESET Remote Administrator Web Console (ERA Web Console) in your web browser and log in.

  2. Click Admin  → Policies and select the policy you want to modify.
  3. Click Policies → Edit.

    When creating a new policy

    In this example, we will modify an existing policy. If you are creating a new policy, you must enter information about your server (mirror server IP address, for example). If you are using the ERA or HTTP Proxy for distributing updates, you do not need to specify any of this information in your policy.

  9. Expand HTTP Proxy, select Do not use proxy server from the Proxy mode drop-down menu and then click Finish.

    In the future, client workstations assigned to the policy you modified (see step II) will first attempt to download updates from the default profile—if this fails, client workstations will then attempt to download updates from ESET servers.
