Managing user accounts 2
The BlackBerry® Enterprise Server uses predefined roles that correspond to common administrative roles in organizations to
control who can perform specific tasks and to limit who can access sensitive data.
The BlackBerry Enterprise Server User Administration Tool uses the BlackBerry Administration Service credentials that you type
on the command line.
Your current role is defined by the BlackBerry Administration Service. The -v parameter in the BlackBerry Enterprise Server User
Administration Tool does not display your role.
The authentication information is encrypted when it passes from the BlackBerry Enterprise Server User Administration Tool to
the BlackBerry Administration Service and to the BlackBerry Configuration Database.
