When Administrators Add Department Administrators

Article Number:020137

This page describes the steps for Administrators to add department administrators.

Users Who Can Be Assigned As Department Administrators

All users can be assigned as department administrators.
Even users who do not belong to the department they are going to manage can be assigned.

Actions That Can Be Performed for Users Not Yet Assigned

Department administrators can perform the following actions for users who do not belong to any departments yet:

  • Change user information.
  • Add the users to a department of which department administrators have administrative privileges.

If you do not want the department administrators to perform actions on users who do not belong to any department, assign them to the appropriate department.
By default, the Administrator user is also a user who do not belong to any departments.
