<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n3. create enterprise administrator<\/h2>\n\n
You now have two options to create an Enterprise Administrator. You need to think very carefully about which option is right for your situation:<\/p>\n\n
- If you want to use the current Central user you are currently logged in with as Enterprise Administrator, you can simply check the checkbox. The user data is then automatically filled into the form fields.<\/li>
- However, if the current Central Account is later to become rather a subordinate sub-administrative unit, do not click the checkbox under any circumstances. Instead, create a new Enterprise Administrator whose email address has not previously been used for any other Sophos Central account.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n
Then click on Enterprise Management aktivieren und speichern.<\/code><\/p>\n\n\n![\"Enter](\"https:\/\/www.avanet.com\/assets\/sophos-central-enterprise-administrator-1024x569.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\n4. confirm Enterprise Administrator<\/h2>\n\n
If you want to use the current Central user as Enterprise Administrator, a note appears again that this user can only log on to the Central Enterprise console<\/strong> in the future. Access to the normal Central Admin<\/strong> is no longer possible.<\/p>\n\nClick Fortfahren<\/code> or \u00c4ndern<\/code> if you still want to create an Enterprise Administrator with a different email address.<\/p>\n\n\n![\"Confirm](\"https:\/\/www.avanet.com\/assets\/sophos-central-bestatigung-enterprise-administrator-1024x570.jpg\")
<\/a><\/figure>\n<\/figure>\n\nInfo<\/strong>: If you have used the current Central user as Enterprise Administrator, you will be logged out and logged in to the Enterprise console. You will most likely still need to set up two-factor authentication for security reasons. If you have created a new Enterprise Administrator, a welcome email will be sent to the email address provided to set up another secure password.<\/p>\n\nFurther information<\/h2>\n\n
