Configuring a desktop administration role

IBM® Content Navigator role-based administration enables a global administrator to move some administration tasks to department level administrators. This can reduce the work backlog for the global IT department, move some administration tasks closer to the users that require them, and also improve the turnaround time for some administration tasks.

About this task

To leverage this feature, as a global administrator with full privileges, you can configure a desktop administration role with a subset of desktop and role-based redaction administration privileges. You can then apply that role to multiple desktops. However, you can apply only one desktop administration role per desktop.

To create a new desktop administration role, complete the following steps:

1. Open the administration tool and then click Role-based Desktop Administration > New Role.
2. Select the privileges that you want to include in your new desktop administration role.
3. To apply the desktop administration role to a desktop, click Enable Role-based Administration, select the role from the drop-down list, and enter the desktop administrator users or groups.
