Overview
Starting with Admin App v2.0.0, ASP.NET Identity provides web-based authentication and multiple roles for the administration of ODS / API instances.
The Super-Administrator role is used to register multiple users with separate roles and privileges along with all ODS / API instances and its functions. The Administrator role is allowed to access only specific ODS / API instances and its functions. This user authentication model pairs well with multi-instance support within Admin App v2.0.0 and beyond.
Admin App Roles
With the move to ASP.NET Identity, Admin App now allows two roles for the administration of ODS / API instances:
1. Super-Administrator (default role for the first user)
A Super-Administrator is intended for an IT Administrator at a collaborative who is responsible for setting up instances for individual LEAs.Â
Super-Administrator Permissions
- Add a user
- Assign a role to an added user
- Register and delete ODS / API instances
- Change and assign an ODS / API instance to an added user
- Change user settings for other users
- Delete a user
- Plus, all permissions of the Administrator role
2. Administrator
An Administrator can access one or more ODS / API instances assigned by the Super-Administrator. This means that users in the Administrator role can only administer ODS / API instances specifically assigned.
Administrator Permissions
- Manage applications
- API key/secret creation
- View descriptors
- Bulk data uploads
- Learning standards synchronization
General Configuration
First-Time Administrative User Setup

The initial registered user automatically assigned with the “Super-Administrator” role. Provide an email, password, and confirm password value for login.

The Super-Administrator can manage additional users on Global→Users tab.
Valid email address and a temporary password are needed for creating an additional user.
