The initial MSP Admin login is set up by and provided to the nominated email account when the MSP subscription is created.

The MSP Portal uses **Admin Groups** to represent the group of admin users entitled to access the portal. An admin group combines an **Admin Policies**, **Admin Authentication**, and a set of one or more **Admin Rules**. You can view each of these elements through the **Administator** menu. :::hint{type="info"} Editing policies and groups is not possible. These sections are read-only and included for information purposes. ::: A MSP admin can create and edit a defined list of admin user accounts managed locally in the MSP portal. Login requests are authenticated against this list to determine access rights. To add a new admin user: 1.
