Which administrator roles exist in ARIS Advanced Architect?
The administrator roles described in the following are defined via various privileges at the server and database level. Depending on the roles assigned to the administrators they can carry out specific functions.
system
The system user system assumes the administrator role of the system administrator and has all function and access privileges in all databases of a tenant. Authorized persons can use this emergency user to log in to any database, even if you are using an external system, such as LDAP, for authentication.
The name system cannot be changed. The System user check box for this user (Function privileges properties page in ARIS Advanced Architect) cannot be disabled either. You should immediately change the password manager to prevent unauthorized access.
To avoid problems, you should create additional system users. Having more than one system user can avoid problems, for example, if one system user has forgotten his password. If you forgot the passwords of all your system users, the full range of functions is no longer available and full data access is no longer possible.
