Administrative account

KCM Repository has a built-in user account called ITP Admin, which is used for administrative purposes. The ITP Admin account has a number of advanced features:

  • Enter and review KCM Repository licenses
  • Manage active user sessions
  • Manage user accounts and global user authorization
  • Break locks on objects
  • Set installation properties
  • Remove deleted items from the database

The ITP Admin account cannot perform common development tasks.

The ITP Admin account and its user sessions do not count against the number of users specified in the license. If a license violation occurs, you can use the ITP Admin account to resolve it.

Other users can be granted the "Allow login as Admin" right (for more information, see Create user accounts). The users with this right have the same rights as ITP Admin, without their standard advanced features. Such user sessions do not count against the license.

To log in as ITP Admin, follow these steps:

  1. Start KCM Designer for Windows.
  2. In the login dialog, enter the ITP Admin credentials and click Login.

    KCM Designer for Windows is opened.

To log in as administrator using a different account, follow these steps:

  1. Start KCM Designer for Windows.
  2. In the login dialog, enter your credentials and click Login.

    KCM Designer for Windows is opened.

  3. On the menu, click File > Log in as administrator and enter the same credentials.

When the LDAP mode is enabled on the system, in the login dialog, select Logon using One Time Token and use a token generated in KCM Designer (for Web). To log in as administrator, on the KCM Designer for Windows menu, click File > Log in as administrator, generate another token in KCM Designer (for Web), and then use it in the login dialog.
