Assign Delegated Administrators to Pools
The administrator runs the Delegated Administrator Configuration workflow to set the scope of delegated
administration. For example, a certain delegated administrator might be limited to performing operations
on some pools, and a different delegated administrator might be limited to different pools.
Running the Delegated Administrator Configuration workflow is required for configuring the Horizon vCO
plug-in because, at a minimum, the primary administrator must be assigned to the pools. Using this
workflow, the administrator has tight control over which pools can have distributed administration and
which workflows can be leveraged.
