Manage super administrators

Super administrators can assign permissions to user groups and assign users to user groups. To manage super administrators, you must log in to the SA Client as a super administrator. When SA is first installed, the default super administrator is the admin user. See Super administrators and Super users.

Create a super administrator

An SA super administrator is an SA user who can create and modify SA users and user groups. To create an SA super administrator, follow the steps described in Create a new user and check the box labeled “Super Administrator.”
