Administrators Page | Keyfactor Docs

On the Administrators page, the Authorizers lists administrator certificates that have been explicitly granted access and specific roles. For information on the roles, see https://keyfactor.atlassian.net/wiki/x/egDlb.

If Allow Any Administrator is set to Allow any, any administrator with a valid certificate is granted the Admin role, even if the administrator is not listed. If set to Only listed, only the administrators listed in the table are allowed.
