The Super Administrator
Applies to:
A Super Administrator is a user who has complete access to all objects, folders, role templates, and groups in the system. A deployment can have one or more Super Administrators.
- A Super Administrator can create users, groups, and other super administrators.
- A Super Administrator can delegate administration activities by assigning roles to users by using role templates and group administrator permissions. For more information about role templates, see Role templates. For more information about group administrator permissions, see Delegate administrator permissions.
- A Super Administrator can rename and move Business Entities. For more information about renaming or moving Business Entities, see Moving business entities and Entity Move/Rename utility.
For example, a Super Administrator can delegate user provisioning functions to other administrators. For more information, see Administrator permissions for user-provisioning functions.
A Super Administrator is specified during the installation process. The Super Administrator user is a member of a group named OPAdministrators. For more information about the OPAdministrators group, see The OPAdministrators group.
In a new installation, the Super Administrator is the only user in the system. In an upgrade, you can enter a new user or select one of the existing users as a Super Administrator.
Do not use the Super Administrator account for daily administrative actions. Create an administrator user ID for each of your administrators to allow for accountability within the system.
