In some hosting environments, the need may arise for multiple administrators to manage firewall settings. However, in the case of Rapyd Hosting, this feature is currently not applicable. This article will provide some alternatives and suggestions for users who find themselves in need of multiple administrator accounts for firewall management.

Introduction: Need for Multiple Firewall Administrators

In organizations with complex infrastructure needs or multiple teams, having a single administrator for firewall management may not be sufficient. The ability to add multiple administrator accounts could improve operational efficiency and security.

Rapyd's Current Capabilities

As of the current offering, Rapyd Hosting does not support the addition of multiple administrator accounts for Firewall Manager. This means all firewall-related tasks must be managed by a single administrator account.

Alternative Solutions

If you find yourself in need of this feature, consider these alternative solutions:

  • Sub-administrative Roles: While not ideal, dividing tasks between team members and funneling those tasks through a single administrator can be an effective workaround.

  • Third-party Management Tools: Some third-party tools allow for more robust firewall management across multiple accounts.

  • Custom Scripts: For tech-savvy teams, custom scripts can be employed to manage firewall settings, which can be operated by multiple administrators.

Communicating with Rapyd Support

If this is a feature you find critical for your operations, communicating this to Rapyd Support can help. They may be able to provide more personalized advice or offer a timeline on when such a feature could be available.

Other Hosting Options

If this feature is crucial for your operation, you may also consider looking into other hosting providers that offer multiple firewall administrator accounts as a feature.

Conclusion

While Rapyd Hosting does not currently support multiple administrator accounts for firewall management, there are alternative workarounds and options. By either adapting your operational model, using third-party tools, or considering other hosting providers, you can find a solution that best suits your needs.
