Overview
Administrators manage inSync. You can assign a role to each administrator that you create in inSync. An administrative role is a collection of individual rights. A right grants the ability to control administrator access to the inSync Management Console and the ability to perform tasks on the inSync Management Console.
📝 Note
When you upgrade from your previous inSync version, the profile administrators will map to the new Profile Administrator role. Additionally, the predefined rights assigned to the new Profile Administrator role automatically apply to the upgraded profile administrator.
Types of administrative roles
inSync includes predefined roles that contain the rights required to perform tasks on the inSync Management Console. You can assign these predefined roles to the administrators, or you can create your own roles by combining selected rights.
❗ Important
You can create only Druva Cloud Administrator and Cloud Administrator roles in the Business edition.
The following table lists the types of administrator roles available in inSync.
Role | Description |
Predefined roles | There are seven predefined roles available in the inSync Management Console.
In addition to the above predefined roles, Druva Cloud Administrator role is available only in Druva Cloud Platform Console.
For information on how you can create predefined roles, see Create a predefined role. |
Custom roles | You can create custom roles depending on your organization’s needs.
For information on how you can create custom roles, see Create a custom role. |
Considerations
A role is a set of tasks that administrators can perform based on the rights assigned to them. Each role contains a set of categories, and each category contains a set of granular rights that an administrator can perform.
Only the Druva Cloud Administrator and Cloud Administrator have access to the Administrators page on the inSync Management Console as well as Druva Cloud Platform Console.
You can assign only one role to an administrator. However, you can assign multiple administrators to one role.
When you create a role, you can import rights from a predefined role, or you can create a new custom role without importing rights from any role. When you import a role, the predefined rights are imported with the role. However, you cannot import rights from the Legal administrator and Cloud Administrator roles.
You cannot edit or delete the Cloud Administrator and Legal administrator roles. You can edit or delete all other predefined and custom roles.
