Create Your Administrators and Managers

Note: You may prefer to leave this task until you have deployed CA DataMinder to your client machines, in order to allow users to enroll themselves as CA DataMinder users. This entails setting up the CMS machine policy to permit self-enrollment.

For CA DataMinder installations with large numbers of client machines, you will almost certainly need to share the administrative workload with selected colleagues. You will also need to provide senior executives with the ability to manage users and extract information held in CA DataMinder databases.

You can promote ordinary users into administrators or managers by granting them administrative privileges. To limit the scope of their authority, you can withhold specific privileges and assign a management group (this limits which groups they can manage).

To assign administrative privileges

1. Right-click a user and choose Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog, click the Privileges tab.
3. Select the administrative privileges as required.

To assign a management group

1. Right-click a user and choose Properties.
2. In the Properties dialog, click the Details tab.
3. Click the Browse button and choose which group you want as the management group.

Note: You will need to provide administrators and managers with details of their CA DataMinder account (their user name and password) before they can run the Administration console.
