The IRM system includes two main user applications: the Global Console and the Web Client:
IRM is administered exclusively though this Global Console.
The Global Console provides administrative functionality and access to reports and exported data.
The IRM Web Client application provides the main interface for creating, altering and dynamically examining configuration data.
IRM administration is conducted in the following areas:
User administration
adding, removing and altering IRM Users and User Teams and viewing audit trail information regarding user activity
Permissions
creating and altering Site Groupings and Policies and assigning them to IRM Users.
Note: IRM Users refer to accounts that can login to the application and should not be confused with the "Users" tab within the the Web Client.
Managing reports and exported data
creating and altering Report and Export Configurations and Templates and scheduling Configurations to run automatically.
Note: unlike other administrative activities, these particular activities can also be done by ordinary IRM Users and Report Viewers.
