Asset Administrator permissions

An Asset Administrator manages all partitions, assets, and accounts:

  • Creates (or imports) assets and accounts.
  • Creates partitions and partition profiles.

  • Delegates partition ownership to users.

    NOTE: A delegated partition owner has a subset of permissions that an Asset Administrator has. That is, the delegated partition owner is authorized to manage a specific partition and the assets and accounts assigned to that partition.

  • Assigns assets to partitions.

  • Manages account password rules.

NOTE: Asset Administrators can only view the user object history for their own account.
