Configure Superuser Access Control

This page allows you to configure superuser access for the Administration Server. In this case, the superuser is the person who has access to change any/all parts of the server configuration, not to be confused with the system's superuser (root).

tip These settings affect only the superuser account. That is, if your Administration Server uses distributed administration, you need to set up additional access controls for the administrators you allow.

The superuser's user name and password are kept in a file called server_root/https-admserv/config/admpw.

The following table describes the fields and buttons on the screen. The left column lists the fields and buttons; the right column describes the functionality.
