SysAdmin accounts have the highest access level. SysAdmin accounts allow people from the organization(s) hosting and/or sponsoring the MOVEit Transfer server to create, configure and remove Organizations. A SysAdmin can also act as an Administrator of any Organization on the MOVEit Transfer system with one important exception: SysAdmins cannot read or write files to or from any particular organization. This restriction enforces the privacy and confidentially of each organization and ensures that the administrators of each system remain in control over those users who work with the local filesystem.
SysAdmin accounts must be protected carefully and used only to establish, configure, or remove organizations, or to change global settings that cannot be changed by any other account. (By default SysAdmins are allowed onto the system only if they are seated at the MOVEit Transfer console.)
Tip: Unless you run a data center with multiple MOVEit Transfer organizations, it is generally easier to do most of your administrative tasks (such as add/delete users) as an Admin in your default organization instead of as a SysAdmin.
File Rights: A SysAdmin can view, download and delete system-wide audit files. SysAdmins cannot view, upload or download files to or from institutions, although SysAdmins can perform these tasks within their own restricted "Org #0".
Administrative Rights: A SysAdmin can track any significant errors which occurred on the system as well as any activities he or she or any other SysAdmin performed. A SysAdmin may enable or disable any file processing service and may add, modify or delete entire Organizations. (More power is available after assuming the role of Administrator for a particular Organization.)
Special Abilities: A SysAdmin can assume the role of an Administrator for any Organization. When a SysAdmin "drills down" into an Organization, a SysAdmin temporarily loses the abilities of a SysAdmin and gains those of that Organization's Administrator, minus the ability to work with files. A SysAdmin can return to full SysAdmin mode by leaving that Organization.
Example(s):
Standard Bank Services purchased MOVEit Transfer to provide secure data transport and collection services to three member banks. Jason is an employee of Standard Bank Services and has been given the task of setting up and maintaining Organizational accounts. As part of his duties Jason also provides help over the phone and he occasionally finds it useful to view Organizational settings. Jason is an ideal candidate for a SysAdmin account.
