Global Administrator

The Global Administrator (GA) is the second level in the administrative hierarchy. These administrators can perform few of the tasks of an MA.

GA has scope on all organizations present in the system by default. If you want the GA to manage only specific organizations, then specify it while creating the GA accounts.

The main tasks of a GA are to:

• Create and manage other Global, Organization, or User Administrators, as required.
• Configure the authentication policy for the Administration Console.
• Configure cache refresh settings for the Administration Console.
• Create and manage organizations, as required.

  Note: This includes editing the organization details.

• Create and manage users, as required.
• Configure Adobe Signature Service Protocol (ASSP) and Secure Assertion Markup Language (SAML).
• Manage user credentials.
• Configure CA AuthMinder Profiles and Policies for supported authentication mechanisms.
• Assign configurations globally or to an organization.
• Configure registered plug-ins.
• Configure RADIUS clients and RADIUS proxy server.

To track and analyze available information, GAs can generate and view all administrative activities, configuration, and credential management reports for the organizations under their administrative purview. They can also view the reports for all the Organization, User Administrators, and Users that are assigned to them.
