ZENworks Administrator
Accounts
During installation, a default Administrator account is created. This account provides rights to
administer all of your Novell

You can create additional administrator accounts that provide full access to your ZENworks system.
You can also create accounts that limit administrative rights to specific device folders, policy
folders, bundle folders, and report folders.
You can use the ZENworks Control Center or the zlman command line utility to create and modify
administrator accounts. The following procedures explain how to perform these tasks using the
ZENworks Control Center. If you prefer the zlman command line utility, see the Administrator
Commands section of
zlman (1) (page 562) .
