Managing Operators

In ActivID CMS, an operator is a trusted individual who has administrative rights to perform specific operations. Each operator has a role that defines what functions s/he is allowed to perform.

For security reasons, a given operator can access only the ActivID CMS functions that are authorized by the role. Only an operator with an Active status can access the ActivID CMS Operator Portal.

To securely connect to ActivID CMS, operators use their device to establish an SSL connection with mutual authentication to the ActivID CMS Operator Portal. Managing operators involves controlling all aspects of what an operator can access and do.

From the Operators page, you can:

  • Enroll an operator,

  • Update an operator,

  • View information about an operator,

  • Delete an operator, and

  • Log off an operator.

Important: During the setup phase, ActivID CMS is configured so that it can be accessed with a soft certificate.
However, it is recommended that you configure ActivID CMS to prevent the use of the soft certificate as soon as possible.
To do this, create one or more operators with devices and disable the initial operator ID.
