Create an administrator

You can create an administrator by adding a role to a user account or user group. The user group can be a directory-linked group or local group. You can add one role to a user and one role to each group they belong to, and 
BlackBerry UEM

BlackBerry UEM
 sends administrators an email with their username and a link to the management console. 
BlackBerry UEM
 also sends administrators a separate email with their password for the management console. If an administrator does not have a account password, 
BlackBerry UEM
 generates a temporary password and sends it to the administrator.
If necessary, add user accounts to a user group that has a role assigned to it. Only Security Administrators can add or remove members of a user group that has a role assigned to it.
