CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Managing Administrators › Updating Administrator Credentials

Updating Administrator Credentials

Administrators, like end users, must use credentials to authenticate to the system. AuthMinder supports QnA, Password, and OTP credentials out-of-the-box for administrators. You use the Credential Details page to update the credentials of an administrator. Through this page, you can enable or disable the credential, or extend its validity.

Permissions Required

To be able to update administrators, ensure that you have the appropriate permissions and scope to do so. MA cannot manage any credentials. GAs can manage the credentials for all administrators (including other GAs), except for MA, in their scope. The OAs can manage the credentials of all other OAs and UAs in their purview. UAs can manage only the credentials of the peers within their scope.
