Configuring the System Administrator Details
Entering the System Administrator's Name and Contact Details is optional when setting up your SupportAbility installation.
However, this configuration is recommended so your staff know who to contact when they have difficulty resetting their login password, accessing SupportAbility outside a configured IP address range, or have forgotten the Client Support Log PIN.
