Administrators and Administrator Groups

Security for the console in Client Management is ensured via a number of different methods and objects, one of these are the administrators and administrator groups. Each of these has a capability list which dictates what an administrator can do. The administrator and administrator group nodes and their capability definitions specify the access to the console in general, that is, who can interrogate or manipulate the database and its information.

Administrators

Every user that might need to log on to the CM console must be defined as an administrator in the BCM database with a login name and a password. These administrators can then be restricted in their capabilities to specific object types and operations and grouped accordingly.

Administrator Groups

Administrator Groups are a way of organizing all existing administrators within your system. The structure defined through your groups is individual and freely configurable by the responsible person. Administrators can belong to more than one group. Groups can be created for example according to the following criteria:

• geographical location and the administrator's function there,
• corporate structure and the administrator's position within, or
• assigned capabilities
