    About this task

    By default, a system administrator also contains the sn_uni_task.admin role and can access the Universal Task information. To secure your application, remove the sn_uni_task.admin from the admin role. By doing so, you prevent the user with a default admin role from viewing all the Universal Task information.
    Note:
    Ensure that you have completed setting up Universal Task before removing the sn_uni_task.admin role from the admin role.

    Procedure

    1. Log in as admin.
    2. Navigate to User Administration > Roles.
    3. Select admin.
    4. On the Contains Roles tab, click Edit.
      Note:
      If you do not see the Edit button, change the Application scope to Global.
    5. From the Contains Roles List column, highlight and move sn_uni_task.admin to the Collection column.
    6. Click Save.
