Administration levels

KODO for Endpoints server was designed in a multi-tenancy architecture. It means that you can define multiple organizations (tenants) within one instance of KODO for Endpoints server. In each organization instance, you can backup a separate set of endpoints you defined.

To be able to administer the server using different levels of access, the KODO server was designed to leverage two administration levels:

• KODO administration level - accessed through KODO Admin Portal

• KODO organization administration level - accessed through KODO Organization portal

Please find the description for each administration level below.

KODO administration level

KODO administration level is the highest level of authorization. If you log in to the portal as kodoadmin user, you gain an access to the KODO Admin Portal. From this portal you can configure global system settings and other assets as follow:

• Download or upload installer packages

• Manage administrators

• Manage KODO organizations

• Configure system settings:

  • E-mail server settings

  • IBM Spectrum Protect server settings

  • Licensing information

  • Billing settings

  • DB backup configuration

KODO organization administrator level

KODO system allows your company to create multiple organizations under one KODO server. Every organization is a separate entity with separated data, settings, users, policies, etc. If you log in as theadmin user, you gain an access to the KODO Organization portal. As the organization administrator, you can configure the system assets like:

• Users

• Devices

• Policies

• Deployment

• Organization administrators

• LDAP connection

• Users synchronization

• Notifications

• Usage and activity report

The default organization name is “My organization”. It is created during KODO for Endpoints server deployment.

You can change the default organization name after logging on to the system as theadmin user. Go to the Organizations menu and click the edit button located in the organization name row.

Default login credentials

Here are credentials for two predefined administrator accounts:

• default global admin: kodoadminwith password k0do@dmin

• default organization admin: adminwith password changeme

The credentials will be required later in the Initial configuration chapter.
