    Is there a way to promote a group of users automatically as administrator ( helpdesk or organization administrator) in CA Advance Authentication Admin console.

    If there is no direct way then are there some reference DB queries than can be executed in a batch process to promotes list of users in one go.

    Hi Sravesh,

     

    Unfortunately, at the moment , there is no option to perform bulk promotion of users to administrator.

    This can only be done via Admin console by logging in with the user with appropriate previliges.

     

    Promoting a user to Admin is usally a complex setps requiring to set password, choosing orgs etc. 

    If required, please create an enhancement request for this.

     

    Regards,

    Ujwol

    I think this is a common requirement at customer locations that they want a group of users to be administrators , the group should be mapped to ldap group.

    I agree, A new enhancement request would be good.

    i also encourage you to open up the request. my expectation was to set an AD group to be auto-promoted to admins

    As a work around this can be done by executing SQL statements against  DB directly but it is not a good approach for data integrity and reporting.

    For me this looks like more of IAM solution where you can add users to the role based on filters. In Advanced Auth we cannot add users to Admin roles where as we need to manually assign admin role to individual users.

    I have created an Idea request for this requirement. Product team can evaluate this idea and based on their assessment they can include it in the product road map.
