Administrator Considerations
Before you configure an Administrator, consider the following:
- This process applies if the Administrative UI is using an external store as the source of administrator identities. If you are using the policy store as the source of administrator identities, create a Legacy Administrator.
- The rights each Administrator requires to perform their job. Identifying these rights can help you delegate the appropriate security category to the administrator.
- The number of Administrators to which the Administrative UI and Policy Server tools tasks be distributed.
- If one or more Administrators are responsible for application security policies.
Important! An Administrator can only create another Administrator with the same or lesser privileges. For example, if an Administrator has GUI and reports privileges, the Administrator cannot create another Administrator with GUI, reports privileges, and local API privileges.
