Super admins and admins for Visual Studio Subscription agreements

The Visual Studio Subscriptions Admin Portal for Volume Licensing customers has two roles, similar to the Primary/Notices Contact and Subscriptions Manager roles that previously existed in the Volume Licensing Service Center (VLSC).

Super admins: When you initially set up an organization, the Primary or Notices Contact becomes a super admin by default. The Primary or Notices Contact can assign more super admins or admins. A super admin can add and remove other admins and subscribers. For security, if the system has more than two super admins, a super admin can delete all but the last two. In addition to assigning admins and managing subscribers, super admins can set global preferences for agreements.

Admins: Only super admins can assign new admins and add them to agreements. Admins can manage subscribers only in the agreements that a super admin assigns to them.
