Archibus SaaS / System / SaaS Administrator

SaaS Administrator

The SaaS Administrator (sample user AFM-CLI) performs basic administrative tasks to ensure that Archibus correctly runs for their company's needs.

The SaaS Administrator has the 4 - CLIENT ADMINISTRATOR (ACP) role.

Note: The Archibus Foundations Manager (sample user AFM-FDN) also performs some administration tasks. See Archibus Foundations System Administration.
A SaaS Partner Administrator (sample user AFM-BP) performs advanced tasks. See SaaS Partner Administrator.
