Manage Firewall Administrators

Table of Contents

Administrative accounts specify roles and authentication methods for the administrators of Palo Alto Networks firewalls. Every Palo Alto Networks firewall has a predefined default administrative account (admin) that provides full read-write access (also known as superuser access) to the firewall.

As a best practice, create a separate administrative account for each person who needs access to the administrative or reporting functions of the firewall. This enables you to better protect the firewall from unauthorized configuration and enables logging of the actions of individual administrators. Make sure you are following the Adminstrative Access Best Practices to ensure that you are securing administrative access to your firewalls and other security devices in a way that prevents successful attacks.
