7.2. Admin Policies

If you want to define policies for administrators managing tokens, you need to enter “admin” at the scope field.

Note

As long as there is no policy in the scope “admin” defined, all admins will have access to all functionality. This is the old behavior of LinOTP version 2.2. As soon as the first admin policy is defined, admin policies are checked for each and every administrator.

You may enter several comma separated administrator names into the user field.

You may enter several comma separated actions into the action field. Entering an asterisk ‘*’ here, will allow the administrators to perform all actions.

You may enter several comma separated realm names into the realm field. Entering an asterisk ‘*’ here, will allow the administrators to perform these actions in all realms.
