Adding an Admin

When adding an admin, you define the roles and permissions each admin has, as well as the settings that define password expiration.

To add an admin:

  2. Click New.

    The Create Administrator panel opens.

  3. Enter these General settings for the admin:

    • First name and Last name

    • Email - Admins use this email address as the username when logging in to the CMA

      • Select an existing admin - For Cato resellers, you can add an admin that is already configured in the CMA

        Select this option and choose the admin from the drop-down list with all the admins in the customer accounts

  4. Select the Role that will define the permissions for this admin. To learn about roles, see Managing Admin Roles Using RBAC.
  5. (Optional) To exclude this admin from the password expiration policy, select Password never expires. For more information, see Authenticating Admins.
  6. Click Apply. The admin is added to the Administrators page and an email invitation is sent to the admin with instructions for how to activate the admin.
