Login

  1. After the Solution Admin defines the desired Grant for the background application, the Solution Admin will provide the name of the Grant. Once provided, edit the BGA application, select the 'Grants' tab, assign the grant specified by the Solution Admin, and click update. Login

This completes the steps for an Ability Admin to configure a solution for a Solution Admin.

# Next Steps

If these steps can be completed without error, the Solution Admin can complete the configuration without additional assistance from the the Ability Admin.
