Configuring the Home page administrator

Create an administrator for Home page so that you can make changes to the application such as adding and removing widgets.

Before you begin

IBM® Connections administrators must be dedicated users. Their only purpose should be application administration.

About this task

Only a Home page administrator can add, remove, enable, or disable widgets on the Home page. For more information, see the Administering the Home page from the user interface topic.
Note: You can also create global administrators for any of the applications, for the purpose of managing content. For more information, see the Administering application content topic.
