A directory service account that has Full Control access to a Content Platform Engine object store.
A directory service account that can administer an object store by having Full Control access to it. You can also grant Full Control to an object store to group accounts, thereby making all members of the group object store administrators.
Each time a gcd_admin runs the Object Store Wizard, you are asked to specify the users and groups who should have administrative access to the object store. Each object store could therefore have a different set of object store administrators. Conversely, if you want the same groups to administer all object stores in the FileNet® P8 domain, you must add them while creating each new object store using the Object Store Wizard. By default, the GCD administrator creating the object store also becomes an object store administrator, but you can remove it if your security design requires dedicated accounts for each object store and GCD.
Object store administrative rights do not include the ability to add, move, or remove object stores, fixed content devices, content cache areas, or any of the other FileNet P8 domain resources. These permissions are granted only to GCD administrators.
An object store administrator is not also a GCD administrator unless also specifically granted those permissions. This means that an object store administrator who is not also a GCD administrator would have to request that a GCD administrator create a new domain resource like an object store. Once these objects are created by the GCD administrator, however, the object store administrator can populate the object store with new classes and folders, store content in the file storage area, assign markings, and so on.
The list of object store administrators is available for viewing and modifying in the IBM® Administration Console for Content Platform Engine Object Store > Properties > Security property page. You can add or remove users or groups from this list at any time later on.
