Introduction to the CCC Administrator

About the New CCC Administrator?

The new CCC Administrator is a new admin service provider serving as a core administrator platform for all CCCTC web applications, utilities, and services.

Designed to serve as a centralized, land & launch global interface, the CCC Administrator:

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

• Accessible via one, single-point-of-entry for all integrated applications, meaning users with authorized access to multiple admin tools will navigate to one central URL (https://{custom-idp}.openccc.edu/administrator) and sign-in using one set of user credentials for all their authorized tools and services;

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

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

• New architecture design that scales as users, applications and services are added to the system;  across User Management identity management. The

How do the CCCApply Administrator 2.0 and the new CCC Administrator system relate to each other?

What Functionality Moved from Admin1 to the new CCC Administrator?

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.  
  

• 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.

Launching Integrated Applications

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).

• 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).
 

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;
