We are asked to use delegated use admin but we do not see why we have to use it.

Could you explain a bit? Thanks!

Hi Christy,

Delegating administration is the process of "distributing" the administrative tasks and content in the portal to dedicated administrators. This decentralizing capability allows you to selectively assign the tools, tasks, and content in the portal to individual administrators, based on their area of responsibility. This solves the problem of exposing administrators to the portalu2019s entire set of administration tools and restricted company data, which is common in an environment where the tools and content are centralized and access cannot be controlled.

Please refer to these links for more info :

Hi,

Delegated User Admin is used to simplify the task of a regular User Admin. Suppose your company is based in 4/5 locations/branch/department and each unit has a delegated user admin (consider unit = company from Portal perspective), DUA can create users and request for approval from the User Admin.

DUA can maintain users of a particular company (portal perspective).

Hope this helps,

Thanks,
