Administering

To be classified as an endpoint administrator, a user must belong to a security group that is associated with the administrative role that was designated during the installation process or after the installation while setting up connectors.

In version 3.0, you need to start the services manually using the following command after each restart: python truesight-sm.py start --deployment <deploymentType>.
