BlackBerry Administration Service
The BlackBerry Administration Service is a web application you use to manage user accounts; assign user groups, administrative roles, and software configurations and apply IT policies to user accounts; and manage servers and component instances in a BlackBerry Domain. You can open the BlackBerry Administration Service in a browser on any computer that can access the computer that hosts the BlackBerry Administration Service. You can share administrative duties with multiple administrators who can access the BlackBerry Administration Service simultaneously using unique user names and passwords. When Microsoft ActiveX controls are turned on in your browser, you can connect BlackBerry devices to your computers and manage the BlackBerry devices while you are logged in to the BlackBerry Administration Service.
