Policy Container Administrators

The policy container administrators are of two types:

  • Delegated Administrators

  • Policy View Administrators

Delegated Administrators

All delegated administrators with View/Modify rights to a device have read rights to the master policy container. To create or modify policies, a delegated administrator needs View/Modify rights to a policy container. When a delegated administrator has View/Modify rights to any policy container, the delegated administrator is also granted enough rights to allow the administrator to select shared secret values, attributes, LDAP groups, and LDAP OUs to policies.

If you want your delegated administrators to have full control over a device and its policies, you might want to create a separate policy container for each delegated administrator or for each device that is managed by a group of delegated administrators.

Policy View Administrators

A policy view administrator has rights only to view policy containers. The super administrators can create a special type of delegated administrators called policy view administrators. The policy view administrators can log in to Access Manager with their credentials and they are allowed to view only the policy containers assigned to them.

Using Policy Container option, the super administrators can add and remove the delegated and policy view administrators.
