Accessing the
Administration
Console

Depending on which system you are managing, you access the
Administration Console in either two steps (for the CoreBuilder 9000) or
one step (for all other systems). See “Accessing Your System” later in this
section for details.

For all systems, the Administration Console supports three password
levels, allowing you to provide different levels of access for a range of
users.
