Administrator Roles

Users created in the system organization can be assigned administrator roles that are not available for any other organization.

By default, Control Hub includes a single system administrator user account in the system organization that is assigned the System Administrator role. You can create additional users in the system organization and assign the users the appropriate administrator role.
Important: StreamSets recommends creating at least one backup user account with the System Administrator role in case you lose the password for the default system administrator.

The following table describes the tasks that each administrator role can perform:
