1.3.1 Creating Multiple Admin Accounts

Administration Console is installed with one admin user account. If you have multiple administrators, you might want to create a user account for each one so that log files reflect the modifications done by each administrator. To do this, create a new user as a trustee of the tree root with [Entry Rights] for Supervisor and inheritable rights assignment. This ensures that you have more than one user who has full access to Administration Console. If you have only one administrator user and the user forgets the password, you cannot access Administration Console.

To create a new user as a trustee of the tree root:

  1. In Administration Console Dashboard, click <user name> > Manage Roles & Tasks.

  2. Click Users > Create User.

    Specify all required details to create a valid user.

    NOTE:Select the same Context that the existing administrator has. For example, novell.

  3. Click Rights > Modify Trustees, then select the tree root user.

  4. Add the newly created user as a trustee of the tree root user.

  5. Click Assigned Rights and specify [Entry Rights] for supervisor and inheritable rights assignment.

  6. Click Done.

You can also create delegated administrators and grant them rights to specific components of Access Manager. For information, see Section 1.3.3, Managing Delegated Administrators.
