| With the release of MetaFrame XP with Feature Release 2, Citrix has introduced the ability to delegate administration based on task. You can create Citrix administrators accounts with the following permission levels: Full Administration to all areas of MetaFrame XP server farm management. View-only - access to all areas of server farm management. Custom - Access to areas of farm management or specific tasks within those areas; administrators can have a mixture of view-only access, write access, or no access. Note: denying tasks on a customer level does not prevent the use of command line utilities. Important: At least one Citrix administrator account with full administration privileges must always exist in the server farm. If you manage to remove all accounts with full admin privileges, the console will allows a local administrator to log to set up Citrix administrator accounts.
The following details how to add a new MetaFrame Administrator(s). 1. Open the Citrix Management Console and right click on the Administrators section. 
2. You are now prompted to add the users/groups that you would like to add as an Citrix administrator. Double click on the domain / computer you would like enumerate. If you will be selecting user accounts you will need to click the Show users check box. To add local administrators click the Add local administrators checkbox. Click Next when finished. 
3. Now you are prompted to select the tasks, the previsously slected group, will have permissions to administrate. You have the ability to assign View Only, Full Administration and Custom privages. If you would like to disable this account for later use then you will need to click to check the Disable Citrix administrator account(s). Select the appropriate tasks and click Finish.
