Configure administrator user

You can configure a user account as an administrator. It is mandatory to configure a user account with administrative privileges after creating a repository. The configured user account for a repository has full rights on the repository whereas the other users have limited rights. The configured user can control the security of the repository.

After a repository is created, the Central Configuration page appears:

By default, the administrator account for the selected User Provider will be populated in the drop down box.

Example

If a Repository is mapped to the CONNECT user provider then CONNECT user list will be populated, where user is an administrator in the List. Similarly, if the Repository is mapped to Microsoft Entra user provider, then Administrator [activedirectory] will be populated.

After creating the repository, you are navigated to the Administrator Configuration page. By default, the CONNECT users are listed in the User Lookup drop-down list.
