About the Master Admin role

Trust Protection Platform includes a default administrator role called Master Admin. This role includes access rights to every object available in the system, including certificates, keys, identities and permissions.

When you first install Trust Protection Platform, the master admin role is assigned to the default administrator account (admin) by default.

You can assign the master admin role to individual users or groups. Because this role can be assigned to a group, users can be managed in this group automatically through an external identity provider, such as LDAP or Active Directory.

You can quickly see which users have the master admin role in the Identity inventory. See Managing system role assignments in Venafi Configuration Console.
