This document describes details of the Client Admin configuration to be created so that the configured users can view the self-service requests and reports on behalf of others. These subjects are covered:
Client Admin Introduction
The Client Admin feature enables advanced users or IaaS Client Administrators to view and manage features such as user requests and reports in the Admin tab in Self-Service. The advanced users or IaaS Client Administrators can be specific individuals or user groups who are part of the IaaS Client Administrators user group - a security policy user group.
The Client Admin configuration determines the capabilities of the Advanced users when they log into Self-Service and select the Admin tab. Only IaaS Client Administrators defined in the Client Admin configuration can view the Events, User Match Task and /or Reports features in the Admin tab in Self- Service.
Client Admin Overview
The main components of Client Admin are Events, Users Match and Reports..
Users Match
The purpose of the Users Match sub tab in Self-Service is to enable IaaS Client Administrators to view the status of user match requests for a specific group of users or all users, and to take action on a pending request. Therefore, the IaaS Client Administrators, their access permissions (view or manage requests) and the user or user groups whose requests are to be managed by the IaaS Client Administrators are all configured in the Users Match section of the Client Admin.
Events
The purpose of the Events sub tab in Self-Service is to enable IaaS Client Administrators to view the status of requests for a specific group of users or all users, and to stop or restart a pending request. Therefore, the IaaS Client Administrators, their access permissions (view or manage requests) and the user or user groups whose requests are to be managed by the IaaS Client Administrators are all configured in the Events section of the Client Admin.
Reports
The purpose of the Reports sub tab is to enable IaaS Client Administrators to perform a variety of report management functions such as creating, managing, scheduling, and execution of reports. Therefore, the users or user groups responsible for report management and the reports that are required for report generation and report management are configured in the Reports section of the Client Admin.
Exclusive Client Admin configurations can be created for either the Events or Reports feature or a combined configuration containing both Events and Reports features. In the event of multiple Client Admin configurations, only one configuration can be designated as the default. When a user qualifies for more than one Client Admin configuration then the default will be used. Therefore, it is recommended to configure the default with minimal rights when multiple configurations exist.
Compliance
The purpose of the Compliance sub tab is to enable IaaS Client Administrators to start compliance job from self service UI. The users or user groups responsible for compliance job management are configured in the Compliance Jobs section of the Client Admin configuration.
Client Admin Configuration
In order for a user or user group to have Client Administrator privileges enabling access to the Admin tab in Self-Service, they must qualify for the security policy IaaS Client Administration. Adding the user to the IaaS Client Administrators user group will qualify the user for the IaaS Client Administration policy. For a user group to qualify for the IaaS Client Administration policy, create a condition for group membership of the required user group, then create a rule referring to this condition. Finally, add this rule as a dynamic filter to the IaaS Client Administrators user group.
