Super Administration
The role of a super administrator is filled by a person who, after installating the SAP Enterprise Portal, stands responsible for initial administration.
This role holds the permissions given to all the other three administrator roles which include the user administrator, content administrator, and system administrator. For in depth details of the pre-framed administrative roles, I shall write an article for pre-configured roles. The super administrator can access the entire set of tools in this portal administration environment.
Following the installation,the super administrator is the first one to be entering the portal. SAP Enterprise Portal comes with a tough-coded username and also a password for the use of the super administrator. After the installation process, the super administrator can log on to the portal with the help of his user ID. When you go beyond the initial configuration stage, it is better to change the initial user IDs and passwords or disable the super user itself.
The main tasks of the super administrator after logging on to the portal and after qualifying the basic functionality are as follows:
Connecting to the base of users who will be working in the portal so that the super administrator sets up at least the minimal user management configuration. We should know configuration of user management in the Enterprise portal for further information.
The end user and the administrative roles needed for the organization should be planned out carefully. The role structure can be put in gradually, starting with a test environment in mind set up and later on gradually moving towards a live production portal with the primary target audience being the end users.
At this point, the super administrator assigns users for the other administrator roles, thereby distributing the responsibilitiesof administration. The super administrator can modify the pre-configured administration roles when they do not fit the needs of the company,and in turn extend them as needed.Before you begin the modification of the pre-configured roles, delta links and SAP Content objects should be well known.
Now the super administrator distributes the default initial content to relevant system administrators and content administrators in the company by assigning permissions for these users. Initial content has objects and templates and portal components, which can be used as a base for creating portal content.
Once delegating the administrative tasks is done by the super adminostrator, the assigned content managers start the process of importing content and roles which can be from their own sources and iViewStudio, and also in-house content developers can parellally start developing content which is specific to the organization. Needs
One optional thing is that parellal to the steps above , the process of setting up and configuring the Knowledge Management platform in the portal should also be done.

Delegated Administration
The process of "distributing" the administrative content and tasks in the portal to one or more administrators or group administrators is delegating administration. As opposed to the non-delegated portal environment this capability allows you to confining of each administrator or group of administrator, data, the tools, and tasks that is restricted to a specific user or group—, that can expose each administrator to all other administration tools, connected systems,and company data, without restriction.
Delegated administration allows you to do the following:
organizing of the administration framework totally according to your business scenario.
controlling the distribution of portal-related administrative tasks,hence reduces the total cost of ownership (TCO) significantly which is a key function for the "global portal" scenario.
managing large scale portal implementations.
SAP Enterprise Portal offers delegated administration that is fully customisable with user permissions, at these levels:
work sets and Portal roles , and the services (tools) provided by them.
Portal objects like content of the Portal Catalog
Features
1. Administrative Tasks delegation:
All administrative tools available in the portal are in effect iViews, that are integrated subsequently for task-oriented worksets. These worksets are assigned to a predefined sub-administration role in an off-the-shelf installation of SAP Enterprise Portal.
The worksets and pre-configured administration roles serve the purposes of:
Delivering the portal administration like modular building blocks, and hence providing the flexibility of addressing variations in administrative tasks that are performed by one administrator or a group of them.
Providing an example that resembles how one should structure the delegation of administration tasks.
Since the standard SAP role concept is followed by the the pre-configured administration roles you can easily adapt the pre-configured task delegation according to your own admininistration roles or vice versa to suit your environment.
2. Delegating Administration on the Portal Catalog
SAP Enterprise Portal allows the assigning of delegated administration at the level of the Portal Catalog.
The Portal Catalog may include the following objects:
System Landscape objects
Content Objects (iViews, pages, layouts, roles, worksets, packages)
Unification presentation components
KM Objects (resource, taxonomy)
The Portal Catalog does the organization of portal objects, that include the content objects, in a hierarchy. You can set permissions to a node, like a folder containing a group of iViews, or for one object. When objects are below a given node Permissions are inherited to the child . Permissions are editing and reading capabilities of the objects.
You assign permission to folders and objects per role, or user or user group; and hence define who is responsible for customization of object and who is able to just see the objects. After the initial deployment process, the first task of the super administrator is being assignment of default initial content given in the portal, to the which have been defined in the system.
