The Administrator role is for company administrators who need to configure and manage Advanced eDiscovery, or for HR personnel who need to monitor employee email usage.
Administrator roles must be assigned the Monitor All Accounts privilege in the Administration Console if they are to monitor email usage. Unlike the accounts with the Reviewer role, the accounts with the Administrator role cannot be granted access to selected accounts only.
Accounts with the Administrator role and with the Monitor All Accounts privilege can be assigned to cases as reviewers, and can act as reviewers in the same way as the accounts with the Reviewer role.
Administrators can also receive email notifications each time a message is flagged in the Alerts area.
Note: Accounts with theAdministratorrole can be assigned additional privileges in Archive Administration, including the privileges that can be conferred by built-in group roles. The accounts with theAdministratorrole that are also assigned theDiscovery Administratorbuilt-in role have full access to all the features of Advanced eDiscovery.
Discovery Administrators can configure and manage all aspects of Advanced eDiscovery, including the following:
  • Creating, viewing, and editing cases
  • Managing reviewers
  • Adding and editing labels
  • Assigning review status tags to emails
  • Managing case review status tags
  • Managing saved searches under cases
  • Exporting emails from cases
  • Viewing logs and saving reports
Given the sensitive nature of the information available to administrators, they should take special care to protect their logon credentials.
