Remove the sn_uni_task.admin role from the admin role so that you can prevent a user
with the default admin role from viewing all Universal Task tables.

## Before you begin

Role required: admin

## About this task

By default, a system administrator also contains the sn_uni_task.admin role and can access the Universal Task information. To secure your application, remove the sn_uni_task.admin from the admin role. By doing so, you prevent the user with a default admin role from viewing all the Universal Task information.  
Note:  
Ensure that you have completed setting up Universal Task before removing the sn_uni_task.admin role from the admin role.

## Procedure

1. Log in as admin.
2. Navigate to User AdministrationRoles.
3. Select admin.
4. On the Contains Roles tab, click Edit.  
   Note:  
   If you do not see the Edit button, change the Application scope to <kbd class="ph userinput">Global</kbd>.
5. From the Contains Roles List column, highlight and move sn_uni_task.admin to the Collection column.
6. Click Save.
