Using the Command-line Tool to Manage Administrative Security

When administrative security is enabled on your license server, anyone attempting to administer the license server will need to provide a set of authorization credentials before starting administrative operations. When the license server is started, your default administrator account is assigned ROLE_ADMIN, ROLE_OFFLINE, ROLE_RESERVATIONS, ROLE_DROPCLIENT, and ROLE_READ. These roles give you a full range of privileges to administer the license server, including authorization to create and manage other enterprise user accounts that have limited administrative privileges. You can also create other license-server administrator accounts.

For an overview of the administrative security facility, including a description of the available roles, see Managing Administrative Security on a Local License Server or CLS Instance in the Getting Started section.
