Hi all,

I couldn't find much useful information on User Admin so I hope someone can shed some light on it.

When I dedicate a user an User Admin, will it count towards my WSA limit?
Can User Admin who is not WSA create new users, update role, update selective access via a User Management module or import action in NUX?

Thanks,

Jim

#2 Users cannot directly update the users list. However, a workaround is possible: user inputs can be captured in a module, and an automation job can be set up to process these changes. Since users cannot run the action themselves, the automation user, with Workspace Administrator (WSA) access, can run the action.

Question 1: Not sure how the licensing works around it

Question 2: Generally speaking, User admin role is an additional layer of security if you do not want WSAs to add/delete any new users in the workspace and to assign/unassign SSO to the users. However, User admin role is specifically designed to be driven from the Tenant Admin Console (Although he can be WSA as well and drive everything from the model) which means he can not provision module level/list level or cell level accesses if he is driving from Tenant Admin console.

@Dikshant I think the question is about USER ADMIN role and not about the users or users' interaction with the User list in the model.

Thanks @Dikshant and @Misbah , both are very insightful. It seems that we'll have no other way but to use Dikshant's suggestion and schedule CW integrations to run like every hour or so.
