Introduction to Portal Server Delegated Administration

Administrators use the Portal Server Console to assign resources to delegated administrators. For example, if amadmin and mary are an administrator and an user respectively, amadmin can assign some resources to mary, and this makes mary a delegated administrator.

A Delegated Administrator can be of one of the following four types:

• User — The selected resource is delegated to a single user.

• Realm — The selected resource is delegated to a whole organization.

• Role — The selected resource is delegated to a general role such as, System Administrator.

• Filtered Role — The selected resource is delegated to a specific role such as, a System Administrator assigned to a particular work center.
