Overview

The 'Primary System Administrator' and 'System Administrators' are the RMS Users who are responsible for the system configuration of the database and are the main contact for system notifications.

As a minimum, every property must have a Primary System Administrator who will be responsible for, and will need to react accordingly to the following items: 

• Ensure Contacts are current and up to date
• Receive critical system notifications and take action on these
• Receive environmental updates
• Receive version release notifications

Tip! Additional Contacts can be added with the 'Contact Type' of 'System Administrator' as an additional contact to the Primary System Administrator. The same conditions and responsibilities apply.

Please Note! System Administrators on record with no linked RMS User will receive an email notifying them of the need to complete the setup outlined in this article. The RMS User nominated as the Primary System Administrator cannot be set to 'Inactive' until an alternative User has been nominated in Contacts.
