About Access Manager Functions

Portal Server administrators use the Access Manager administrative console to manage tasks related to identity. These tasks are provided by Sun Java^TM System Access Manager, not Portal Server. Administrators can perform the following tasks:

• Manage identity-based objects, including users, roles, and organizations to administer and assign appropriate access to users according to roles they have within organizations or suborganizations

• Delegate administrative functions to specific end users by authorizing the end users to administer organizations, suborganizations, users, policy, roles, and channels

• Reset administrator passwords, in the same way other passwords are changed
