Administration Model

HyTrust KeyControl provides a rich administrative framework that can be leveraged by multiple organizations of different sizes. This approach is useful for organizations ranging from the single-administrator IT shop to a large, multi-tenant cloud service provider who needs to support secure customer environments.

The administration model provides:

• Multi-tenancy support. Administrative roles allow for need-to-know and separation of duties. There are three distinct administrative roles (Security, Domain, and Cloud). Roles can be combined and there are no limits to the number of administrators. Administrators can be placed in administrative groups to provide peer oversight. All objects in the system are owned by one or more administrative groups, not by individual administrators.
• Support for multiple administrative roles per admin.
• Alerts presented through the KeyControl webGUI and, optionally, sent through email.
• Audit records that can be displayed in the KeyControl webGUI, downloaded, or exported through syslog to an external log server.
