Systems and methods for deploying and managing secure limited-administration server systems
A method comprises creating template limited-administration ontologies, the template limited-administration ontologies each identifying a plurality of different managers, each of the different managers having distinct and limited system access privileges. A request is received for a limited-administration server system, the request being associated with a client entity. A particular template limited-administration ontology of the template limited-administration ontologies is selected based on the request. A deployment ontology is generated based on the particular template limited-administration ontology and the request. A limited-administration server system deployment package is generated based on the deployment ontology. The limited-administration server system deployment package is provided for execution, wherein execution of the limited-administration server system deployment package creates a limited-administration server system, the limited-administration server system being capable of controlling access to one or more other systems associated with the client entity, and the limited-administration server system being limited to administration according to the different managers.

7. The system of claim 6 , wherein the particular set of different managers includes a monitor manager, the monitor manager including system access privileges for accessing one or more activity logs associated with the user devices.
8. A method being implemented by a deployment server system including one or more physical processors and storage media storing machine-readable instructions, the method comprising:
storing one or more template limited-administration ontologies, each template limited administration ontology of the one or more template limited-administration ontologies identifying a closed set of different managers associated with the template limited administration ontology, each different manager of the closed set of different managers having distinct and limited system access privileges and functions;
receiving a request for a limited-administration server system, the request being associated with a client entity;
selecting a particular template limited-administration ontology of the one or more template limited-administration ontologies based on the request;
generating a deployment ontology based on the particular template limited-administration ontology and the request;
generating a limited-administration server system deployment package based on the deployment ontology; and
processing the limited-administration server system deployment package, the processing of the limited-administration server system deployment package causing the deployment server to assist in creating the limited-administration server system, the limited-administration server system being capable of controlling access to one or more other systems associated with the client entity, and to assist in creating a particular closed set of different managers, each different manager of the particular closed set of different managers having particular distinct and limited system privileges and functions identified in the deployment ontology, no manager of the particular closed set of different managers having access to all system privileges and functions, no manager of the particular closed set of different managers having access to the deployment server.
9. The method of claim 8 , wherein the of different managers includes an access permissions manager, the access permission manager including system access privileges for assigning one or more user types to one or more groups.
10. The method of claim 8 , wherein the particular set of different managers includes a distribution manager, the distribution manager including system access privileges for creating distribution lists.
11. The method of claim 8 , wherein the particular set of different managers includes a user manager, the user manager including system access privileges for adding, removing, and suspending one or more users, wherein adding one or more users includes storing user information associated with each added user.
12. The method of claim 11 , wherein the particular set of different managers includes an invitation manager, the invitation manager including system access privileges for verifying the user information associated with each of one or more users.
13. The method of claim 8 , wherein the particular set of different managers includes a device manager, the device manager including system access privileges for registering user devices, the user devices including BYOD devices and non-BYOD devices.
14. The method of claim 13 , wherein the particular set of different managers includes a monitor manager, the monitor manager including system access privileges for accessing one or more activity logs associated with the user devices.
15. A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause one or more processors of a deployment server system to perform:
storing one or more template limited-administration ontologies, each template limited administration ontology of the one or more template limited-administration ontologies identifying a closed set of different managers associated with the template limited administration ontology, each different manager of the closed set of different managers having distinct and limited system access privileges and functions;
receiving a request for a limited-administration server system, the request being associated with a client entity;
selecting a particular template limited-administration ontology of the one or more template limited-administration ontologies based on the request;
generating a deployment ontology based on the particular template limited-administration ontology and the request;
generating a limited-administration server system deployment package based on the deployment ontology; and
