Role-based administration

Role-based administration

You can use role-based administration to organize your certification authority (CA) administrators into separate, predefined CA roles, each with its own set of tasks. Roles are assigned using each user's security settings. You assign a role to a user by assigning that user the specific security settings that are associated with the role. A user that has one type of permission, such as Manage CA permission, can perform specific CA tasks that a user with another type of permission, such as Issue and Manage Certificates permission, cannot perform. For more information, see Role explanation.

Note

• Role-based administration is supported by both Windows server 2003 enterprise and stand-alone certification authorities. For information about using Windows 2000 server certification authorities and role-based administration, see Windows 2000 roles andWindows server 2003role-based administration.



Role explanation

Role-based administration involves CA roles, users, and groups. To assign a role to a user or group, you must assign the role's corresponding security permissions, group memberships, or user rights to the user or group. These security permissions, group memberships, and user rights are used to distinguish which users have which roles. The following table describes the CA roles of role-based administration and the groups relevant to role-based administration.

All CA roles are assigned and modified by local Administrators, Enterprise Admins, and Domain Admins. Local Administrators, Enterprise Admins, and Domain Admins are CA Administrators by default on an Enterprise CA. Only local Administrators are CA Administrators by default on a stand-alone CA. If the stand-alone CA is logged on to an Active Directory domain, Domain Admins are also CA Administrators.

The CA Administrator and Certificate Manager roles can be assigned to both Active Directory users or local users in the Security Accounts Manager (SAM) of the local computer, which is the local security account database. As a best practice, assign roles to group accounts instead of individual user accounts.

Only CA Administrator, Certificate Manager, Auditor, and Backup Operator are CA roles. The other users described in the table are relevant to role-based administration and should be understood before assigning CA roles.

Only CA Administrators and Certificate Managers are assigned using the Certification Authority Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in. Other roles, users, and groups are specified in their related consoles. To change the roles of a user, you must change the user's security permissions, group membership, or user rights. For information about assigning roles, see Assigning roles.

When key archival is configured, the subject obtaining a certificate from a CA will provide their private key to the CA. The CA stores that private key in its database until key recovery. Only a Certificate Manager can get the encrypted private key blob out of the CA database, which is then passed on to key recovery agents (KRAs). For more information, see Key archival and recovery.
