Who is responsible for managing the actions permitted to other admins?

The Super Admin plays a crucial role in managing the broader configuration and access permissions within the Okta platform. This individual holds the highest level of administrative privileges, which includes assigning roles and setting permission levels for other administrators. This capability is essential in maintaining security and ensuring that the right personnel have the appropriate access to perform their duties.

For instance, the Super Admin can manage which actions specific types of admins are allowed to take, such as creating or modifying user accounts, accessing sensitive data, or altering configurations. By controlling these permissions, the Super Admin helps to mitigate risks through proper authorization and maintains an organized structure in the management hierarchy.

In comparison, roles like the Report Admin and Auditor have more limited scopes. The Report Admin focuses on generating and managing reports, while the Auditor is primarily concerned with monitoring and reviewing actions for compliance purposes. The Basic User, on the other hand, has no administrative capabilities and operates only within predefined user-level permissions. This illustrates why the role of Super Admin is pivotal in governing the actions and permissions granted to other admin roles within the Okta environment.
