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.

To assign the application and policy administration rights

1. Click Administration, Administrator, Create Administrator.

   The Create Administrator pane opens.

2. Enter a name for the administrator in the Name field.
3. Click Create in the Rights group box.

   The Rights dialog opens.

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

The administrator has been given application and policy administration privileges.
