Administrators are classified into public system administrators and VSYS administrators based on the system types.

Public System Administrator

After the VSYS feature is enabled, the existing administrator on Athena NGFW becomes the public system administrator. The login method, permissions, and authentication method for the administrator remain unchanged. The public system administrator manages and maintains Athena NGFW and configures public system services.

Only the public system administrator with system management permissions can create, delete, and assign resources to VSYSs.

VSYS Administrator

After a VSYS is created, the public system administrator can add a super administrator and multiple other administrators for the VSYS. The VSYS administrator and public system administrator have different permissions: The VSYS administrator can access only the configuration UI of the VSYS to which they belong, and configure and view only the services of the VSYS. However, the public system administrator can access the configuration UIs of all VSYSs and configure the services of any VSYSs if necessary.

To accurately identify the VSYS to which each administrator belongs, you must set the administrator username in the administrator name@@VSYS name format, as shown in the following figure:

You may access the virtual system by clicking Enter System on the System Management page.
