7 Creating Roles and Administrators

Administrator Icon An administrator is an authorized user who logs in and uses Enterprise Manager. A role is a collection of Enterprise Manager resource privileges, or target privileges, or both, which are granted to administrators or to other roles. Roles can be based upon geographic location (for example, a role for Canadian administrators to manage Canadian systems), line of business (for example, a role for administrators of the human resource systems or the sales systems), or any other model. By default, when you install Enterprise Manager, the SYSMAN user account (super administrator) is created. Use this super administrator account to create roles and administrators for your organization.
