Select Users as Administrators

After you establish connections to external user stores, select users to serve as administrators.

Follow these steps:

1. Log on to the Federation Manager UI.
2. Navigate to Infrastructure, Administrators.
3. Select Configure Administrative Authentication.
4. To complete these tasks, follow the configuration wizard:
   • Select an external user store.
   • Select one or more users as administrators.
   • Determine the type of access privileges for each administrator. The options are:
     • Super User
     • Federation Administrator
     • Read Only User

     Note: Click Help for a description of each privilege.

   • Decide whether to disable the default administrator. To prevent the use of a central administrator account, disable the default administrator. Without a default administrator, rely on individual administrators that you are able to audit.
5. Log out of the Federation Manager UI and wait several minutes for the changes to take effect.
6. Log back in to the Federation Manager UI with the credentials of a new administrator.
7. Return to the Administrators page to see the list of administrators is displayed.
8. (Optional). From the Action menu, modify or view an entry.

   You can change the privileges of the administrator and can enable/disable the administrator.

Multiple administrators are now available to divide ederation management tasks.
