BlackBerry Administration Service
The BlackBerry Administration Service is a web application you use to manage user accounts; assign user groups,
administrative roles, and software configurations and apply IT policies to user accounts; and manage servers and
component instances in a BlackBerry Domain. You can open the BlackBerry Administration Service in a browser on any
computer that can access the computer that hosts the
BlackBerry Administration Service. You can share administrative
duties with multiple administrators who can access the BlackBerry Administration Service simultaneously using unique
user names and passwords. When Microsoft ActiveX controls are turned on in your browser, you can connect BlackBerry
devices to your computers and manage the BlackBerry devices while you are logged in to the BlackBerry Administration
Service

Feature Description
high availability of BlackBerry
Enterprise Server components
You can install standby instances of BlackBerry Enterprise Server components
and configure a manual or automatic failover to a standby instance.
ability to assign users to multiple
groups
Groups permit you to share administrative roles, IT policies, and other
configuration settings among similar user accounts so that properties can be set
once instead of for every user. You can assign a user account to more than one
group so that the user inherits the properties of every group that the user
belongs to. You can also assign groups to other groups to share the properties of
the parent group with all of the user accounts in the child groups.
custom server and component names
using friendly names
To help you identify servers and component instances, you can define a friendly
name for each BlackBerry Enterprise Server and component instance that
displays in the BlackBerry Administration Service. Each regional language that
the BlackBerry Administration Service supports can have unique friendly
names.
custom administrative roles Each action that you perform in the BlackBerry Administration Service is
associated with a privilege. You can specify the actions that administrators can
perform by changing the privilege that you assign to administrative roles.
