Configure admin access

Default admin account

The default admin user created during server configuration is a unique account designed to control access to critical management elements of the Management Server. The admin account is the Domain Administrator for the main or root domain.

The admin account full username is Centra Administrator.

Change the default admin user password immediately to prevent unauthorized access to the default system Cornerstone Classroom Administrator account.

Because the default admin account is assigned all privileges, the Meeting Administrator can perform any task. There are tasks that can be performed only by the Meeting Administrator as the administrator of the root domain.

When creating additional user accounts, delegate various roles based on the privileges required for the user.

Privileges

By default, the System Administrator has all privileges. Edit the System Administrator’s ACE to limit the capabilities as would be done for any other user or group.

The System Administrator grants privileges to other groups, including to Domain Administrators who can further distribute the privileges as the organization requires. When new privileges are added to the Administrator’s ACE, any limits will be lost. The System Administrator will have all privileges again.
