Updating Administrator Information

Permissions Required

To be able to update administrators, ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and scope to do so. The MA can update any administrator. GAs can update all administrators (including other GAs), except for MA, in their scope. The OAs can update all other OAs and the UAs in their purview, while UAs can only update their peers within their scope.

3. Under the Manage Users and Administrators section, click the Search Users and Administrators link to display the corresponding page.
4. Enter the partial or complete information of the administrator whose information you want to update (as discussed in the preceding section) and click Search.

   A list of administrators matching the search criteria appears.
