Sub-estates

Go to My Sub-Estates > Sub-Estates.

When you turn on Enterprise Management from a Sophos Central Admin account, any other accounts associated with your customer account are linked to your Sophos Central Enterprise account as sub-estates.

To allow access, the sub-estate's Sophos Central Admin administrator must do as follows:

1. In Sophos Central Admin, click Account Details > Account Preferences.

   This shows that Enterprise Management has been turned on for the organization and also shows the enterprise administrator's details.

2. Switch on enterprise admin access to the Sophos Central Admin account.

The Sub-Estates page lists your sub-estates and provides an at-a-glance view of the number of licenses they are using in each of the available categories and the status of those licenses.

You can also do the following actions:

• Create new sub-estates. See New Sub-Estate
• Unlink sub-estates. See Unlink sub-estates.

• Check which sub-estates have allowed the enterprise admins to access and manage their Sophos Central Admin account.

  Note

  The sub-estate's Sophos Central Admin administrator has to allow the enterprise admins to access their account. The administrator must have the Super Admin role to do this. Only an Enterprise Super Admin can turn off the opt-in once it is enabled.
