Work with the Admin component
An admin is a user or user group that has granted admin permissions.
A common use case is that you have a user who needs to perform admin duties. You need to grant them the required permissions and constrain those permissions to a resource set. You can follow any of the following methods to create an admin role assignment.
Third-party admins
Super admins can mark their delegated admins as third-party admins by using any of the following ways:
-
From the user or group's profile page:
-
Go to the Admin permissions tab and click Edit assigned admin privileges.
-
On the Administrator assignment by admin page, select the Exclude admin from receiving all admin-related communications checkbox.
-
-
From the Overview tab or the Admins tab:
-
Click Add Administrator.
-
On the Administrator assignment by admin page, select the Exclude admin from receiving all admin-related communications checkbox.
-
To view the third-party admin column in the Admin role assignment report, select the Manage third-party admins checkbox on the Settings > Account page.
You can mark delegated admins with custom admin roles as third-party admins. This ensures that when custom admin roles can support third-party admins, these admins aren't provisioned to Okta Support.
