The OPAdministrators group

Applies to: All deployment types

The OPAdministrators group is created automatically during the installation process. The group is listed under the special group Workflow, Reporting and Others > Standalone Users and Groups. Members of the OPAdministrators group are automatically granted special privileges.

Members of the OPAdministrators group can see the following items on the Administration menu:
  • System Files
  • User LDAP Configuration
  • Pages and Templates
  • Cloud Pak for Data Cognos Integration

Members of the OPAdministrators group are the only users that have Read, Write, Delete, and Mange permissions on the Pages and Templates/Reporting folder by default. Members of the OpenPagesApplicationUsers group have Read access. Individual features on the Pages and Templates page require different permissions. For more information, see Publishing permissions.

Members of the OPAdministrators group are the only users that have access to the following folders by default:
  • The /Migration Documents folder, which is needed for environment migration.
  • The /LogCollector Documents folder, which is needed for logging.
A user must be a member of the OPAdministrators group to perform the following user provisioning functions:
  • Clearing direct reports access when you are disabling a user account.
  • Viewing a user's reports access.
  • Copying direct reports access from one user to a new or existing user.

Super Administrators users are members of the OPAdministrators group, who have access to all objects, folders, role templates, and groups in the system. They can perform tasks such as renaming and moving Business Entities, for more information, see The Super Administrator.

More permissions might be required such as Manage permission on the top-level user group. For more information about the privileges you need to perform user provisioning functions, see Administrator permissions for user-provisioning functions.
