Manage Administrators
Users who have the Administrators role can use View Administrator to add and remove administrator
users and groups.
The Administrators role is the most powerful role in View Administrator. Initially, members of the View
Administrators account are given the Administrators role. You specify the View Administrators account
when you install View Connection Server. The View Administrators account can be the local
Administrators group (BUILTIN\Administrators) on the View Connection Server computer or a domain
user or group account.
Note By default, the Domain Admins group is a member of the local Administrators group. If you
specified the View Administrators account as the local Administrators group, and you do not want domain
administrators to have full access to inventory objects and View configuration settings, you must remove
the Domain Admins group from the local Administrators group.
