About user types

There are three types of portal users:

Table: User types

User Type

Rights

Administrator

Manage user accounts and set up host groups at or below the Administrator's assigned group. An Administrator can create both End User and Administrator accounts, but only within the Administrator's home group.

In an MSP (Managed Services Provider) environment, each client has Administrator accounts that have access only to the client's domain and only the host groups within that domain.

Note:

Portal upgrades will automatically enable privileges for newly added reports and the display of the Inventory view including all objects, for all Administrators. Refer to the release notes for the list of reports and features introduced in a specific product release.

Super User

Privileges available to this user cannot be revised by any other user.

A Super User can do the following over and above the rights of the Administrator user:

  • Access the entire Portal host group hierarchy from top to bottom regardless of the user's group assignment.

  • Manage Oracle tablespace.

  • Define and manage server backup cycles.

  • Create both End User and Administrator accounts for any group within the host group hierarchy.

  • Access all default and user-generated reports.

  • View New and Updated badging on system report templates when they are made available.

  • Impersonate a user profile.

End User

  • The features for which privileges have been granted by the Administrator. End Users can utilize their privileges at or below their assigned home group.

  • An End User can create only End User accounts within the user's own home group (domain).
