Administrator's Guide

Administration

You can define and manage administrators using the Administrative Console. The edit and browse modes are especially useful when you have multiple administrators accessing the system and making changes. As the names indicate, browse mode only allows viewing, while the edit mode enables the user to make changes in the system. You can initiate the edit mode by taking control of any system locks. See Control locks for additional information about locks.
