roles are the same in the enterprise or super enterprise, with a few exceptions.Define user accounts in suborganizations, and then grant them access from the enterprise or super enterprise organization.
The Enterprise Administrator is an operator role that creates and manages the member organizations and common content. Typically, there are 2–5 operators with this role in the enterprise or super enterprise, depending on the size of your organization. The Enterprise Administrator also grants operator access to the enterprise or super enterprise and specifies the user base for each enterprise operator.
The operator account for the Enterprise Administrator exists in a suborganization, but the System Administrator (or another Enterprise Administrator) grants the appropriate roles from the users manager in the enterprise or super enterprise organization.
The Enterprise Administrator role provides full permissions for the enterprise or super enterprise organization and for all sub enterprise organizations and suborganizations. The Enterprise Administrator role is granted to an operator account from one of the suborganizations. The Enterprise Administrator cannot grant System Administrator roles and permissions.
An enterprise operator is an operator with any

role except administrator roles. For example, when assigned the Advanced Alert Publisher role at the enterprise or super enterprise level, an operator can send alerts to users and distribution lists across the enterprise or super enterprise, based on their user base definition.The enterprise operator can target users in multiple member organizations, based on a system or custom user attribute. They can also use a static distribution list with members from across multiple sub enterprise organizations or suborganizations. Or, the operator can use a dynamic distribution list (with a common attribute such as dept=’IT’) to target members in multiple organizations.
Some or all sub enterprise organizations and suborganizations might have enterprise operators, depending on which operators need to alert the enterprise or super enterprise.
The operator account exists in a sub enterprise or suborganization, but the Enterprise Administrator grants the appropriate roles from the users manager in the enterprise or super enterprise organization.
