User / Firm Administration

User Administration functions enable authorized front, middle, back office administrators to manage user access to applications and services.

Permissions assignment begins with the Entity Officer (for Futures & Options) and Designated Person (for BrokerTec) who has direct contact with CME Group's Global Account Management to request services. Both roles can be performed by the same individual.
