Description:
The Application Administrator role/user tier is a bit of a misnomer. Additionally, in DLA J64 they refer to our privileged users (Jonathan Gillette, John O'Connor, Dave Czar, etc.) as App Admin but they have no relation to the Application Admin as it is defined in DPAS. For the sake of clarity internally and during audit it would be helpful to change the name of this role. With this change, updating the support url (https://dpas.dape.dla.mil/admin/ ) would be a good idea as since "admin" implies privileged access to the system.
Recommended:
"Application Administrator" role/user tier could be renamed to "Application Support" and the url for the support site could be changed from "https://dpas.dape.dla.mil/admin/" to "https://dpas.dape.dla.mil/support/".
Mission Critical:
The change will assist with the audit support team's goal of clarifying DPAS processes and it will alleviate questions and confusion from the auditors each year.
Benefits:
Less questions/confusion during audit and internally when discussing this role.
Frequency: Hourly
Users:
After discussing with Jonathan Gillette and Lawrence Walton, the role name change should not affect any users. Changing the support URL would require notifying the current "application admin." Questions on what is required for this change from a technical standpoint can be directed toward Jonathan.
