4.2 Who Can Use the Administration Tab

The Administration tab is not visible to typical end users of the Identity Manager user interface. There are three kinds of users who can see and access this tab:

User Application Administrators: A User Application Administrator is authorized to perform all management functions related to the Identity Manager User Application. This includes accessing the Administration tab of the Identity Manager user interface to perform any administration actions that it supports. During installation, a user is specified as User Application Administrator. After installation, that user can use the Security page on the Administration tab to specify other User Application administrators, as needed. For details, see Section 9.0, Security Configuration.

Provisioning Application Administrators: A Provisioning Application Administrator is authorized to perform provisioning-related tasks for the Identity Manager User Application. During installation, a user is specified as Provisioning Application administrator. For details, see Section 8.0, Provisioning Configuration. The User Application administrator can use the Security page on the Administration tab to specify other Provisioning Application administrators. This includes performing the tasks on the Provisioning page of the Administration tab. For details, see Section 9.0, Security Configuration.

Users permitted by User Application Administrator: If necessary, a User Application Administrator can assign permission for one or more end users to see and access specific pages on the Administration tab. These permissions are assigned by using the Page Admin page on the Administration tab. For details, see Section 6.0, Page Administration
