Managing Administrators

In CCM you can create administrator accounts with different levels of permission to perform CCM tasks, and provide each account access to different groups of computers. This lets you organize computer management so that not all CCM Administrators are responsible for all computers. Administrator accounts are established on each CCM server.

The siadm account is created during CCM installation. siadm has the role of Server administrator, which allows it to perform all CCM tasks on all managed computers. Server administrators can create additional administrator accounts and assign the following to each account:

An Administrator Role, which gives the administrator permission to perform certain tasks in CCM. Several predefined roles are provided;server administrators can define additional roles.
The groups that the account is allowed to manage. The administrator can manage computers in the specified groups, as well as any other computers that the administrator adds to CCM (if the administrator's role allows adding computers).

When an administrator logs into CCM, the <All Computers> group displays only those computers that the administrator is allowed to manage.

Administrators can display a log of their own or another administrator's activities.
