CA AuthMinder Administration Guide › Managing Administrators

Managing Administrators

The types of administrators and their roles and responsibilities depend on the size of your deployment. A small, single-organization deployment can have just one Master Administrator (MA) and a Global Administrator (GA) who administer the organization for end users. On the other hand, a very large multi-organization deployment can find it necessary to have multiple GAs who, based on the complexity of the deployment and the number of end users, can further delegate their organization and user management duties among several Organization Administrators (OAs) and User Administrators (UAs).

See "Supported Roles" for information on supported administrative roles. The Summary of Administrative Privileges section provides a quick summary of tasks each of these administrators can perform. This chapter covers the following administrator management operations:

• Creating Administrators
• Changing Administrator Profile Information
• Searching Administrators
• Updating Administrator Information
• Regenerating Activation Code
• Updating Administrator Credentials
• Changing Administrator Role to User
• Configuring Account IDs for Administrators
• Deactivating Administrators
• Deactivating Administrators Temporarily
• Activating Administrators
• Deleting Administrators

Note: In addition to all the operations discussed in this chapter, the Master Administrator has the privilege to create custom roles that are derived from the existing default roles supported by AuthMinder.
See "Working with Custom Roles" for more information.
