Configuring Super Users/Groups

Super User management

What is a Super User?

A Super User is an attribute of a user or group that provides specialized system access. The Super User attribute is designed for privileged users who will have unrestricted access to the system. Regardless of the roles the users belong to, they will be able to view and update all objects in the system.

Default Super Users are added during the installation of Desktop Authority. Others may be added to the Super User list by an existing Super User.

To access the Super User Management dialog, select Control Access Settings from the menu bar and then Super User Management from the submenu.

Besides having full access to all profiles and objects, Super Users have other special system permissions.

Super Users can:

• create and manage Global Roles
• modify the Super Users list and attributes
• access all Global Options objects
• create, generate and schedule reports for delivery to other users/groups
