# Managing Global Administrators

Global administrators have access to the CTERA Portal global administration view, and to the administration view for all team portals.

At least one global administrator must be defined locally. Additional global administrators can also be defined from Active Directory, when Active Directory is set up, as described in [Integrating CTERA Portal with Active Directory](/v1/docs/adding-editing-or-deleting-global-administrators-4#integrating-ctera-portal-with-active-directory).

## Viewing Global Administrators

**To view all global administrators:**

1. In the global administration view, select **Users > Administrators** in the navigation pane. The **Administrators** page is displayed. You can select to display **Local Administrators** or administrators from the connected Active Directory domain. **Local Administrators** ![image.png](https://cdn.document360.io/30792387-cdcb-4791-aa14-94929bbcd3fe/Images/Documentation/image-UEM8CHVV.png?sv=2026-02-06&spr=https&st=2026-11-11T04%3A43%3A37Z&se=2026-11-11T05%3A43%3A37Z&sr=c&sp=r&sig=ua6eKfB93BnuD53iF2F2fCbdogtbpf7mB05Rgcw0DKg%3D) The following information is displayed for each administrator: **ADMIN** – The administrator's first and last names.
