You can restrict access to the TFTP, HTTP and FTP services provided by the appliance. By default, the appliance denies access to the TFTP, HTTP and FTP services, unless an admin group has their administrative permissions defined.
You can grant read-only or read/write permission, or deny access to the following resources:
- Grid File Distribution Properties—Applies to the Grid and its members, directories, and files. You can set this from the Administrators perspective only.
- Member File Distribution Properties—Applies to the Grid member properties only.
- A specific directory—Applies to the directory and its files.
For information on setting permissions, see Applying Permissions and Managing Overlaps. The following table lists the tasks admins can perform and the required permissions for file distribution services.

Administrative Permissions for Dashboard Tasks
Limited-access admin groups can configure IPAM tasks on the Tasks Dashboard only if their administrative permissions are defined. The appliance denies access to IPAM tasks for which an admin group does not have defined permissions.
You can grant read-only or read/write permission, or deny access to IPAM tasks as follows:
- All IPAM tasks on the Tasks Dashboard
- A specific IPAM task
When you deny access to an IPAM task for an admin group, uses cannot configure the task on their dashboards. Users must have at lease read-only permission to a specific task to see it in the task pack. To perform a specific task, users must also have read/write permission to the objects associated with the task. For information about specific permissions for IPAM, DNS, and DHCP objects, see Administrative Permissions for IPAM Resources, Administrative Permissions for DNS Resources, and Administrative Permissions for DHCP Resources.
For information about setting permissions, see Applying Permissions and Managing Overlaps. The following table lists the tasks admins can perform and the required permissions for configuring IPAM tasks on the Tasks Dashboard.

If you want to allow admins to configure two-factor authentication, you can assign the PKI Admin role to limited-access admins or grant them read/write permissions to the following:
- All certificate authentication services
- All CA Certificates
For information about setting permissions, see Applying Permissions and Managing Overlaps. The following table lists the admin tasks and required permissions for configuring certificate authentication services and managing CA certificates.
