# Use Case

## Delegated Admin

A tenant admin has all the access rights to all the consumers. A delegated administrator has restricted access specific to a consumer. In this case, the consumer is Secrets Manager. You can apply policies on the resources of this consumer. This admin can delegate another user to be a Secrets Manager admin, and a Secrets Manager admin can then delegate other users to be node-wise administrators.

Steps to assign a delegated admin:

1. [Adding a User](/v1/docs/usecases#adding-a-user)
2. [Delegating a Secrets Manager Administrator](/v1/docs/usecases#delegate-a-secrets-manager-admin)
