Super admins and admins for Visual Studio subscription agreements

There are two different roles in the new Visual Studio Subscriptions Admin Portal for Volume Licensing customers, similar to the Primary/Notices Contact and Subscriptions Manager roles that previously existed in the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).

Super admins: When an organization is initially set up, the Primary or Notices Contact becomes a super admin by default. The Primary or Notices Contact can choose to assign more super admins or admins. A super admin can add and remove other admins and subscribers. If there are more than two super admins in the system, a super-admin can delete all but the last two for security. In addition to naming admins and managing subscribers, super admins can set global preferences for agreements.

Admins: Only super admins can assign new admins and add them to agreements. An admin can only manage subscribers in the agreements that the super admin assigns to them.

2. Select the tab labeled Manage Administrators.

3. Select Add.

   

4. Complete the form with the new admin's information.
