Adding Local and External Administrators

Local administrators belong to the Corente Services domain to which you are currently connected. External administrators belong to other Corente Services domains.

Tip

Create Location Groups before you add administrators. Location Groups organize Locations to make it easier to assign administrator permissions.

To add administrators, do the following:

  1. Expand the Administrators folder in the domain directory.

  2. Right-click on either the Local or External folder.

  3. Select Add X Administrator.

    The Add Administrator dialog displays.

  4. Specify the appropriate settings for the administrator and then select OK. See Add Administrator Settings.

  5. Select File and then Save to save your changes to the Corente SCP.

Add Administrator Settings

Settings on the Add Administrator dialog are as follows:

Administrator User ID

Specifies a unique ID for the administrator. The ID can be up to 30 alphanumeric characters. The ID can contain underscore characters but not other special characters such as spaces or punctuation.

Administrator user IDs must be unique across the Corente Services network, not just a single domain.

Email

Specifies the email address of the administrator.

Phone

Specifies an optional phone number for the administrator.

Challenge Answer

  • View Configuration/Location Privileges provides read permissions to the domain.

  • Alarm Viewing Privileges provides read and write permissions to objects in the Alarms and Events folder in the domain directory.

  • Report Viewing Privileges provides read and write permissions to objects in the Reports folder in the domain directory.
