3.0 Getting Started Checklist for Administrator Users

Administrator users can use this checklist to get acquainted with the tasks in the PlateSpin Transformation Manager Web Interface that require privileges for the System Administrator role. Administrator users include:

  • System Administrator user account configured for the PTM Server application.

    This user has privileges for the System Administrator role. The account cannot be deleted. It is a default member of the Administrators group. See Administrative Users for the Web Interface in the PTM 2019.2 Appliance Guide.

  • Members of the Administrators group, which is assigned the System Administrator role.

    The members of the Administrators group inherit privileges for the System Administrator role.
