Administering with AdminCentral
The AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) is automatically created by adminP on the Domino administration server. You can open AdminCentral directly from your Notes Standard or Nomad web client, without the need to start Domino Administrator. This application provides a simplified and easy-to-use way of managing fully functional Notes users and groups in a Domino deployment.
Managing Notes users and groups
Once you have created registration profiles for your Domino deployment in the AdminCentral app, you can use the app to easily create Notes users and groups, recertify users' certificate, delete or rename users, and perform password reset actions for a selected user, from either your Notes client or Nomad browser client.
Uploading an ID file for a user
Upload an ID file for an existing user from your Notes client.

- Administering with AdminCentral
  The AdminCentral application (admincentral.nsf) is automatically created by adminP on the Domino administration server. You can open AdminCentral directly from your Notes Standard or Nomad web client, without the need to start Domino Administrator. This application provides a simplified and easy-to-use way of managing fully functional Notes users and groups in a Domino deployment.
  - How do AdminCentral requests work?
    AdminCentral (admincentral.nsf), created from the admincentral.ntf template, is used by AdminCentral threads in the AdminP task for processing user registration, user recertification, and group creation requests.
  - Setting up a registration profile in AdminCentral
    One of the first tasks in using the AdminCentral app is to create a Notes user registration profile that streamlines the various choices that an experienced Domino administrator has to make when registering Notes users.
  - Managing Notes users and groups
    Once you have created registration profiles for your Domino deployment in the AdminCentral app, you can use the app to easily create Notes users and groups, recertify users' certificate, delete or rename users, and perform password reset actions for a selected user, from either your Notes client or Nomad browser client.
    - Registering a new user
      Register a new Notes user individually or multiple users using a CSV file. You can also register contacts from the Active Directory server.
    - Creating and managing a group in the Domino Directory
      Use groups to easily manage Notes users' access to Domino applications according to their designated department, management, or location.
    - Recertifying a user's certificate
      You can renew a Notes user's certificate if it has expired or is nearing expiration.
    - Renaming an existing user
      Change the primary and alternate names of an existing user, as well as their qualifying organizational unit, short name, and internet address.
    - Deleting a user
      You can delete a user who is no longer active.

      You can assign a new password to an existing user and designate the number of ID download counts allowed for them.

    - Viewing draft requests
      Easily access and manage existing draft requests for user registration and manual recertification of expired or expiring Notes user certificates.
  - Setting up a deletion profile
    With this profile document, you can customize a Notes user's deletion options, similar to what you can do in the Domino Administrator client.
  - Viewing the Admin Activity log
    The AdminCentral app provides an Activity Log page which lets the administrator view all the different requests that are submitted for various actions such as user registration/recertification and group creation.
