About the Administrator Role

The duties of an administrator of the PT application fall into two distinct areas:

• Managing data about individuals, groups, and locations. Administrators enter, update, and delete this data, which the PT application stores in the Eval database. As part of their duty to maintain groups, administrators associate groups with evaluators.
• Managing the functioning of the application. These tasks include traditional system-management duties beyond the scope of this guide, in addition to duties more closely related to the PT application itself. These duties include installing server-side application elements and supporting application arenas and locales. See Deployment for a detailed discussion of these duties..

The role of administrator is powerful in certain ways and less powerful in others. While administrators have direct control over personnel matters such as the member lists of all four roles (evaluators, individuals, auditors, and other administrators), they cannot change grade scales, scores, or other evaluative information.
