Create Individual User Accounts
After you complete the initial setup, the only web interface user on the system is the admin user, which has
the Administrator role and access. Users with that role have full menu and configuration access to the system.
We recommend that you limit the use of the admin account (and the Administrator role) for security and
auditing reasons.
Note
The system includes ten predefined user roles designed for a variety of administrators and analysts using the
web interface. Creating a separate account for each person who uses the system allows your organization not
only to audit actions and changes made by each user, but also to limit each person's associated user access
role or roles. This is especially important on the management center, where you perform most of your
configuration and analysis tasks. For example, an analyst needs access to event data to analyze the security
of your network, but may not require access to administrative functions for the deployment. See the
Secure Firewall Management Center Administration Guide
For information on externally-authenticated user accounts or user accounts in multi-domain deployments see
the
Cisco Secure Firewall Management Center Administration Guide

Synchronizing the system time on your management center and its managed devices is essential to successful
operation of your System. We recommend that you specify NTP servers within your network during
management center initial configuration, but should that fail, you can add an NTP server after initial
configuration is complete.
If your management center is unable to reach an NTP server, see the
Center Administration Guide
