Types of Administrative Authority

The administration structure allows administrators to maintain system, application, and user options that govern how this product operates in a given environment. This administration can be distributed among several administrators who each have a different area of responsibility, or it can be assigned to a single person.

Regardless of the number of administrators you define for your site, this product recognizes four types of administrative authority:

• Master administrator
• User administrator
• System administrator
• Operator administrator

Note: You can perform many of the administration tasks described in this guide using batch processing. For more information, see the Batch Administration Guide.
