Creating Local Administrators in Netskope

Overview

This guide explains how to create local administrator accounts within the Netskope UI. Local admins are user accounts managed directly in Netskope, not synced from external identity providers.

Steps to Create a Local Administrator

1. Log in to the Netskope UI
   Access the Netskope admin console using your credentials.

2. Navigate to the Admins Section
   Go to Settings > Security Cloud Platform > Administrators.

3. Add a New Admin
   Click New Admin to begin creating a new local administrator.

4. Enter Admin Details
   Fill in the following fields:

   • First Name
   • Last Name
   • Email Address (used as the login username)
   • Password (must meet Netskope’s password policy)

5. Assign Roles
   Choose one or more roles for the new admin. Roles determine the level of access and permissions.

6. Save the Admin
   Click Save to create the account. The new admin will receive an email with login instructions.

Notes

• Local admins are ideal for break-glass accounts or when external identity providers are unavailable.
• You can edit or delete local admins at any time from the same Administrators section.
