How users can be created on the Remedy SSO server
You can create administrator users who have access and perform tasks in the Remedy SSO Admin Console by one of the following methods:

- Internal administrator users on the server
- External LDAP users with granted administrator privileges for
The default administrator user
When a system administrator installs the Remedy SSO server, the SaaS administrator is by default created on the Remedy SSO server.

Internal administrator users on the Remedy SSO server
SaaS administrators can create the following users in the Remedy SSO Admin Console from the Admin User tab.
- In the SaaS tenant, create SaaS administrators.
- In a customer tenant, create tenant administrators.

External LDAP users with granted administrator privileges for Remedy SSO

To grant the SaaS administrator privileges to external users, in the SaaS tenant, a SaaS administrator must configure the LDAP authentication on the Server Configuration page in the Remedy SSO Admin Console.
To grant the tenant administrator privileges to external users, in a customer tenant, a SaaS administrator must configure LDAP authentication on the Server Configuration page in the Remedy SSO Admin Console.
