About the New CCC Administrator

The CCC Administrator is a new central admin service for California Community Colleges faculty and staff - providing shared SSO authentication and user management for all CCC Tech Center and other systemwide administrator tools and services.  This service is designed to scale as users, products and services are developed and integrated with this central system.

A Single Point of Entry

The primary benefit of the CCC Administrator is to provide one single point of entry - one URL, one central landing page - for all your Tech Center and other systemwide admin configuration tools and services - thus eliminating the need to manage multiple sites and login credentials q.

; for Tech Center and other systemwide college admin tools - thus consolidating user management and authorization for college and district users in a single sign on environment with one set of login credentials.

  1. In addition, to user and access management, the CCC Administrator servers a few other purposes:

    1. Delivers SSO-based authentication for all CCC college staff users across all integrated CCCTC-developed admin applications

      1. Serves as a central global “land and launch” interface for all college faculty and staff users, for all integrated CCCTC admin applications;

      2.

    2. Manages all shared “System Administration” services for all integrated applications, including User Management (roles, permissions, user profile accounts);

What do Colleges Need to Know?

Though the majority of the features and functionality in Admin1 were not changed when to the new CCCApply Administrator 2.0, some features were moved to the core administrator platform so that all CCCTC admin applications can leverage those services (i.e., SSO, authentication, users and identity management).  The following functionality moved from Admin1 to the core “CCC Administrator” tool;

Getting There

  • New URL:   Now that the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 is integrated within (is launched from) the new CCC Administrator (CAP) system, colleges will be given a new URL that will replace their current/legacy link (to the Admin1) that will take the user to the CCC Administrator system first.  The CAP system will authenticate the user via SSO and will drop them onto the new CCC Administrator landing page. There is no longer a direct link to the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 tool.  

NOTE: All colleges are required to undergo integration with the SSO Proxy in order to access the new CCC Administrator and all integrated admin applications, including the CCCApply Administrator 2.0. To find out if your college has completed this system requirement, please contact CCCTC Support at staffsupportccctc@openccc.zendesk.com

  • New Landing Page:  The home page of the CCC Administrator is now the central “landing page” for all users.  From there, users must select the administrator tool they seek to manage via the Applications menu on the CAP homepage.  

  • New “Applications” Menu:  To access the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 (or any other integrated administrator tool from the core administrator platform), users must select the “CCCApply Administrator” option from the “Applications menu on the homepage.

Land & Launch Interface

All integrated admin applications, including the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 application, will launch from the CCC Administrator global landing page.

  • Applications Menu: In this first release (CAP 1.0), CCCApply and Canvas College Adaptor admin tools are the only tools accessible from the CCC Administrator. As more CCCTC admin applications are developed and integrated with CAP, they will launch from this core system AND leverage the same SSO, authorizations, and System Administrator (to define their own application-specific roles and permissions).

IMPORTANT: The CCC Report Center will not launch from the CCC Administrator in the first release. Until further notice, all colleges and districts will continue to use their existing custom URLs and user accounts to access the CCC Report Center.

  • New “System Administrator” Module:  the System Administrator module is where integrated applications set up  systems administration, including user management in the “User Manager” sub-menu,  user roles in the “Roles Manager”, and user permissions in the “Access Permissions Manager”.  

MOST college users will not see the System Administrator unless they have a user role that allows them to manage other users (see below).
 

Authorized User Management

  • User Accounts:  ALL USER ACCOUNTS are created in the “User Manager” module in the “System Administrator” in the CCC Administrator.  

    • All users must have a user account

    • User accounts specify the applications, roles and permissions, that the user is authorized to across the CCC Administrator.  

    • For CCCApply Administrator, users accounts specify:

      • Applications:  Indicate which CCCApply application(s) the user can access;

      • Role:  Indicates which “role” the user has;

      • Permissions:  Indicates the actions the user is permitted (or authorized) to perform;

NOTE:  Just like in Admin1, all users must have a User account before they can be authenticated into the CCC Administrator. In the first release, all existing Admin1 users will be migrated over to the new system. Their Admin1 roles have been converted to the equivalent role in the new 2.0.
