Administrative Rights to Create Application Security Policies

SiteMinder uses an administrative model that lets you determine what different administrators can view and manipulate.

To implement application security policies, you need to have the necessary administrative rights. An administrator can be assigned the following rights related to applications:

• application administration

  The application administration privilege lets you create, modify and delete an application and its components.

• policy administration

  The policy administration privilege lets you define the resources, roles, and policies associated with an application.

Follow these steps:

1. Click Administration, Administrator.
2. Objects related to administrators appear on the left.
3. Click Administrators.

   The Administrators screen appears.

4. Click Create Administrator.

   The Create Administrator screen appears.

5. Enter a name for the administrator in the Name field.
6. Click Create in the Rights area.

   The Rights dialog appears.

7. In the table, choose one or more of the following:
   • application administration
   • policy administration
8. Click OK.

The administrator has been given application and policy administration privileges.
