AgilePoint NX System Administrator

The AgilePoint NX system administrator is the primary custodian of AgilePoint Server installation and maintenance tasks. This user is required during installation, upgrades, managing server on a daily basis, assigning others permission to use the system, monitoring alerts, etc.

This function is usually fulfilled by a person from the customer's IT team who manages other servers in your environment. Once the installation is complete, a system administrator is required part time. AgilePoint Server typically does not need a full time administrator.

    • The AgilePoint Service Account is a set of credentials AgilePoint Server uses to connect with other systems. There can be only one AgilePoint Service Account.
