Administrator Role in Falcon
The administrator role in Falcon is a central permission level for selected, typically technical users with specific administrative rights. It is intended for users who manage Falcon’s technical aspects related to user management and security – without being involved in operational activities.
Rights and Responsibilities of an Administrator
An administrator can perform the following tasks:
1. Manage Security Settings
Administrators have access to security-relevant settings within the platform – for example, authentication, access controls, SSO, or release processes.
2. Manage Users
Administrators can:
Create new users
Edit existing users
Retract access
Resend invitations to the platform.
3. Manage Provider Assignments
Administrators can assign or reset provider associations for Falcon users. This typically concerns external users or roles with specific responsibilities.
4. Grant Hub Access Rights
Only administrators can grant users access to different hubs.
5. Assign Additional Administrators
An administrator can grant administrator rights to other users – a privilege not available to regular “Owner” roles.
What an Administrator Cannot Do
Administrators do not have access to the project environment within Falcon itself. This distinguishes them from owners.
