Creating administrators

Administrators are users who manage Adobe Connect for their entire organization. Administrators create, remove, and manage user accounts. Administrators manage permissions for individual users and groups. Administrators perform these tasks using a web application called Connect Central.

There are two levels of Adobe Connect administrator: administrator and limited administrator. Administrators have full administrative privileges; limited administrators have lesser administrative privileges. Administrators can set permissions for limited administrators.

The first administrator is created when Adobe Connect is installed or when the account is created. The administrator can then create additional administrators and limited administrators. For example, an administrator can create limited administrator accounts for Help Desk employees who support Adobe Connect users.
