Managing Tasks from the Administration Console

Tasks Not Available from Administration UI

The Zimbra administration console is the browser-based user interface ZCS administrators use to centrally manage Zimbra servers and user accounts.

When you log onto the administration console, the tasks you are authorized to perform display on the console’s Navigation pane. These tasks are based on the rights assigned to the administrator role.

Two types of administrator accounts can be created to manage ZCS:

•	Global Administrators, who have full privileges to manage servers, global settings, domains, accounts and create other administrators. One global administrator account is initially created when the software is installed. Additional global administrator accounts can be created.

•	Delegated Administrators who are administrators that are granted customized administrator roles to manage different tasks from the administration console. To understand how delegated administration works, see the Delegated Administration chapter.
