Administrator Role

Administrator Role

When you assign the Administrator role to a user or group for the domain, Data Integration Service, or PowerCenter Repository Service, the user or group can complete some tasks that are determined by the Administrator role, not by privileges or permissions.
You can assign a user or group all privileges for the domain, Data Integration Service, or PowerCenter Repository Service and then grant the user or group full permissions on all domain or PowerCenter repository objects. However, this user or group cannot complete the tasks determined by the Administrator role.
For example, a user assigned the Administrator role for the domain can configure domain properties in the Administrator tool. A user assigned all domain privileges and permission on the domain cannot configure domain properties.
The following table lists the tasks determined by the Administrator role for the domain, Data Integration Service, Mass Ingestion Service, and PowerCenter Repository Service:
