A user who has been assigned the administrator role can manage the organisation’s environment. The first administrator role for the organisation is created by the Open Badge Factory service administrator.


The admin user is responsible for the environment’s settings and user management. S/he creates and removes user rights and sets user roles. User roles can be admin, creator, or issuer. In addition to managing the environment, the admin user can also create and issue badges.
