    Suite admin user

    Specify whether this user is a suite admin user.

    • A suite admin user is not specific to an account, this user can only log in to Suite Administration.

    • Only suite admin user can access CONFIGURATION, OPERATION HISTORY, and ACCESS CONTROL
    • For a user that is not suite admin user, you need to specify an account and role.

    Account

    Specify a parent account.

    This field appears only for a user who is not a suite admin user.

    Note The account cannot be changed after the user is created.

    Role

    This field appears only for a user who is not a suite admin user.

    Select the user role:

    • Account user: Account user is defined to a specific customer account, this user can only log in to suite applications such as Service Management.

    • Integration user: Integration user is an API user for integration, this user is defined to a specific customer account.

    • Shared service admin: Applicable to provider accounts only.

      A shared service admin normally can perform the following tasks in Suite Administration:

      • Manage license and license pool.
      • Create and configure accounts and shared service tenants.
      • Manage the relationship between shared service agents and shared service tenants.
      • Create and manage account user, integration user, shared service admin, and shared service agent.

      Shared service admin is assigned with MT Administrator role in Service Management automatically.

    • Shared service agent: Applicable to provider accounts only.

      A shared service agent normally can perform the following tasks in Suite Administration:

      • Configure managed accounts and tenants assigned to the shared service agent. To do this, the suite admin user needs to add an Access Control List (ACL) for the shared service agent first.

      • Create and manage account user and integration user.

      Shared service agent is assigned with MT Agent role in Service Management automatically. The shared service agent cannot access the managed Service Management tenant when the assigned managed tenant is no longer managed by the provider tenant.
