Administrators

Administrators are users who are authorized to manage client instances using Landscape.

If you’re running self-hosted Landscape, the first user you create automatically becomes an administrator of your account. If you’re using Landscape SaaS, Canonical sends you an administrator invitation when your account is created. After that, you must invite additional administrators yourself. You’re encouraged to carefully consider who you make an administrator because administrators have elevated permissions and can make changes that affect users and the entire system.

Managing administrators

In the new web portal

You can manage administrators under Org. settings > Administrators. From this view you can add, remove, and invite administrators. You can also grant or revoke roles for each administrator.

In the classic web portal

On the Administrators tab in your organization’s homepage, you can see a list of administrators and their email addresses. Further down, you can also view pending administrator invitations and invite more administrators. In the Roles tab you can adjust administrators’ permissions with a membership matrix. For more details on roles, see the reference page.

Via the API

See the API reference for interacting with administrators through the REST API and legacy API
