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 will need to 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.

Privileges Required

To be able to update administrators, you must ensure that you have the appropriate privileges 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 credentials of all other OAs and UAs in their purview, while UAs can only manage the credentials for their peers within their scope.
