Organization Administration Console

The Organization Administration Console is used to administer users, groups, organizations, approvals, stores (if multiple stores are allowed by your business model) and associated security elements. The Organization Administration Console is a browser based tool.

Administration Console

The Administration Console allows a Site Administrator to control a site or store by completing administrative operations and configuration tasks. The Administration Console allows complete administrative operations at the site level or the store level. The Administration Console is a browser based tool.

The store publish functionality provided by the Store Services Tool in WebSphere Commerce Suite V5.1 has been merged into this tool.

Password Manager

The Configuration Password Manager tool is an extension of the Configuration Manager to meet strict corporate standards to manage an instance. It enables individual users with different roles to enter their passwords to be used in a single WebSphere Commerce instance. This eliminates the need for the WebSphere Commerce site administrator to know the passwords for individual users.

For example, Database Administrators can enter their passwords through the Password Manager for a particular instance. When a Site Administrator launches the Configuration Manager instance creation wizard, WebSphere Commerce populates the field and does not prompt the Site Administrator to enter the Database Administrator's password.

The supported role types are as follows:

Collaboration Administrator

QuickPlace Administrator

LDAP Administrator

Database User

Database Administrator
