(v23) Add and Remove Supervisors

Add and Remove Supervisors

Note: The default supervisor user is no longer installed with Composer v23.4 and later: add users to the Supervisors group instead. If you upgrade to Composer from an earlier version, the Supervisor user becomes a member of the Supervisors group in the Visual Data Discovery (formerly superaccount) tenant.

After upgrading to Composer v23.4 and later, the supplied admin user (System Administrator) or a member of the Administrators group can add or remove users in the Supervisors group.

Add any number of users to this group to allow them to perform specific functions without giving them access to all tasks members of the Administrators group can perform in the Visual Data Discovery tenant.
