How Do I Set Up a New Administrator?

You set up administrators in the WebLogic Administration Portal by assigning users to Delegated Administration Roles. A Delegated Administration Role is a dynamic classification of users that is determined by the user's characteristics (or expressions), such as user profile values or time.

When you assign a user to an administrative role, you add your new administrator to a hierarchy of administrative roles and grant the administrator the right to delegate to other administrators.

To set up a new administrator:

1. Make sure the administrator you want to set up has a user profile in the system. For information about creating users and managing user profiles, see Create a New User. To see if your user is already in the system you can search the LDAP system.
2. Create a Delegated Administration Role if the one you want does not exist.
3. Assign your user (or group of users) to the role.
4. Grant your new administrator delegated rights.
