Important:
When the administrative console is protected by an alternative console
authentication, such as certificate-based, LDAP, or RADIUS authentication, most
user-management functions are handled outside the scope of the PingFederate
administrative console. Therefore, the administrative console disables the
functionality of the window unless the logged-on administrator has been granted User
Admin permissions.
To create or manage users in this scenario, add at least one external account
to the role setting userAdmin
in the configuration file for
the respective authentication method. When the administrator logs on to the
administrative console, the Administrative Accounts window
becomes available to create or manage users for the purposes of accessing the
administrative API.
For more information about the alternative console authentication and the
respective configuration, see Alternative console authentication.
