Authority

Optionally lets the user do other tasks. For example, A User Type of User can be permitted to create users. The authority options that you can select depend on the User Type. For example, if the User Type is Application Group/Folder/Cabinet Administrator, then by definition, the user can create application groups, folders, and cabinets. Therefore, the only additional authorities that the user can be given are Create Users and Create Groups. Choose from the following:
Create Users
An optional authority for users and application group/folder/cabinet administrators:
  • If the User Type is User, lets the user create users with a User Type of User.
  • If the User Type is Application Group/Folder/Cabinet Administrator, lets the user create users with a User Type of User or a User Type of Application Group/Folder/Cabinet Administrator.

Note: Users with Create Users authority can maintain the users that they create, so long as they remain an administrator of the user.
