Enabling and Disabling Admin Mode

If you are an administrator, you can enable Admin Mode to prevent users from logging into applications while you perform administrative maintenance tasks, such as backup and restore operations.

When you change an application to Admin Mode, all users will be logged out of the system. If there are any pending tasks (for example, consolidation, data load, or metadata load), the application will not be changed to Admin Mode and waits until the pending tasks are completed before shutting down. After the tasks are completed, you can enable Admin Mode for the application.

Users are not allowed to log into the application until you disable the Admin Mode.

To enable or disable Admin Mode:

1. Select Navigate, then Administer, and then Consolidation Administration.
2. Select System, and then Applications.
3. Select an application.
4. Take one of these actions:

   • From the toolbar, click the Admin Mode button.

   • Select Actions, and then Admin Mode.

   • Right-click on the application name and select Admin Mode.

5. When you are done working on the application, select the application and disable Admin Mode.
