5. Your first person

You have installed COmanage; the first person is created during this process. By default, this person holds the role of Platform Administrator. We will use this person to explore some of the concepts that we have learned about, and see how COmanage expresses them.

So far, you only have a CMP Administrator in your registry. We will use this person record to explore some of the concepts that we have discussed so far. We won’t be changing this person. You will create a record for yourself in a later lesson.

About Platform (CMP) Administrators

(aka Registry Admins) Platform Administrators are effectively super users, with the ability to perform almost all operations on the platform.
