<strong>Agency</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> <strong>Tools</strong><strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace <strong>User</strong> <strong>Guide</strong>I N T R O D U C T I O NThe <strong>Agency</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> Tool is an optional feature of The <strong>Sabre</strong>® RedWorkspace. Due to the complexity and inherent purpose ofthe tool, it is designed for global accounts and premiers who meet the following criteria:Geographic diversity of officesIT departments that manage update deploymentsAgents booking distinct types of travel/completing distinct tasks on a daily basisThe <strong>Agency</strong>‟s “Ordering Agent” should order this product from <strong>Agency</strong> eServices.Change configuration settingsConfiguration settings make products available (ON) or notavailable (OFF) to agents. <strong>Sabre</strong> applies configuration settings toall agencies; however, <strong>Sabre</strong> allows some settings to be optional.In other words, the agency administrator can override <strong>Sabre</strong>’sdefault setting for optional products.Control when agents receive <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace softwareupdatesUpdates are software components that download and install on theagents‟ workstations. Updates can include a new software release,a fix to a known problem, or a critical update to protect the stabilityof the <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace application or your data. The agencyadministrator can lock agents from receiving updates for a periodof time to allow the agency more time to test or to verify thechanges.Example:<strong>Sabre</strong> turns ON products A and B for your agency, where productA is required and product B is not. All agents in the agency musthave product A. However, if the agency administrator does notwant the agency‟s agents to have product B, he/she can turn itOFF to override <strong>Sabre</strong>’s default setting. Product B will not installon the agents‟ workstations.Example:<strong>Sabre</strong> announces a new release coming on July 1. On June 30,the agency administrator locks all but three agents. On July 1,only the three agents receive the new updates. The threeunlocked agents perform testing, while the other agents continuework without the updates. On July 12, the three agents completetesting. The agency administrator unlocks the remaining agentsso they receive the new changes. Then, all agents have thesame version.If an agency does not have an agency administrator, the agents within that agency can still use <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace. The differencesare described in the table below:Without an agency administratorWith an agency administratorConfiguration settingsSoftware updatesAgents receive products according to<strong>Sabre</strong>’s default settings, which considerthe agent‟s geographical location and anycontractual obligationsAgents receive updates as soon as <strong>Sabre</strong>makes the updates available.Agents receive products according to<strong>Sabre</strong>’s default settings for fixed products.Also, the agency administrator can turnON or OFF products that <strong>Sabre</strong> deemsoptional.The agency administrator can lock one ormore agents so they will not receive anyavailable updates. After the agents areunlocked, those agents will receive theupdates.Page 1 of 15


B E C O M I N G A N A G E N C Y A D M I N I S T R A T O RAfter an agency decides who will fulfill the role of agency administrator, the agency site administrator must submit a request form via<strong>Agency</strong> eServices at https://eservices.sabre.com/ordering/msagentadmin/msagentadmin.asp for each person who needs to be anagency administrator.Note: More than one person can be an agency administrator for the same agency.Within three business days, <strong>Sabre</strong> will grant access to the PCC and Agent ID (EPR) provided by the site administrator in each requestform.A C C E S S I N G T H E A G E N C Y A D M I N I S T R A T O R T O O L SAfter <strong>Sabre</strong> sets up your PCC and Agent ID with agencyadministrator rights, you must do the following:1. Launch <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace (if it is not alreadyrunning).2. Download updates in any of the following ways:a. Click Help on the menu bar, and then clickCheck for Updatesb. Wait approximately 20 minutes afterlaunching <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace. Then,updates download automatically.c. Wait for a few hours with <strong>Sabre</strong> RedWorkspace running. Then, updatesdownload automatically.Note: A message informs you when <strong>Sabre</strong> RedWorkspace checks for updates. After the checkcompletes, another message informs you whetherupdates are downloading or updates are not available.3. After the download completes, a message asks you torestart <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace. Click to restart.4. After <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace restarts, the <strong>Agency</strong>Admin <strong>Tools</strong> button appears at the top of the <strong>Sabre</strong>Red Workspace main window (just below the menubar). Click this button. A new tab opens and you seethe <strong>Agency</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> main dashboard.M A I N D A S H B O A R DThe <strong>Agency</strong> Adminstrator <strong>Tools</strong> main dashboard allows you to select an option, depending on the function you want to perform. Youcan:1. Manage GroupsGroups are a method the agency administrator uses togroup together agents to later facilitate changingconfiguration settings ore controlling updates against thegroup.2. Manage configurations3. Manage updatesAG<strong>EN</strong>CY ADMINISTRATOR TOOLS – <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace user guide Page 2 of 15


M A N A G E G R O U P SThe <strong>Agency</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> list all the agents in an agency. For agencies with many agents, these lists can be very long. Trying tochange configuration settings for only certain agents or locking only certain agents takes time when finding them in a long list.Therefore, the <strong>Agency</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> <strong>Tools</strong> let you put agents into groups that are more manageable than one long list of all agents.You can decide how you want to group your agents together, so that you can change configuration settings or control software updatesfor an entire group (instead of for each agent individually). At any given moment, you can assign an agent to one group only.In order to change any configuration settings for any of your agents, you must create at least one group. However, you can lock andunlock one or more of your agents without creating a group.D E C I D I N G W H E T H E R T O U S E G R O U P SNot every agency needs to create groups. To make this decision,consider:1. Learn as much as you can about how groups work byreading the documentation and getting familiar with the<strong>Agency</strong> <strong>Administrator</strong> Tool.2. Decide whether you want to change any configurationsettings for any of your agents.a. If YES, you must create a least one group sothat all of your agents are in a group.b. If NO, then groups are optional for you.3. Decide whether you want to lock or unlock your agentsto control when they receive <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspacesoftware updates.a. If YES, then you should consider the numberof agents in your agency and the number ofagents you will lock and unlock at one time.If these numbers are similar to each other,then you may not need to create groups. Ifthe numbers are very different, it will saveyou time if you create groups and apply locksagainst those groups.For example, if you have 500 agents and youplan to lock all of them at once except for twoagents for testing purposes, then you maynot need to use groups. On the other hand, ifyou want to lock all agents except for oneagent at each of 30 office locations, then youshould create groups to save time whilelocking and unlocking your agents.b. If NO, then groups are optional for you.AG<strong>EN</strong>CY ADMINISTRATOR TOOLS – <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace user guide Page 3 of 15


O R G A N I Z I N G Y O U R A G E N T S I N T O G R O U P SIf you decide that you want to create groups, you should plan a strategy for what groups to create. Here are some ideas to considerwhen determining your strategy:Who will administer each groupIf multiple people will have agency administrator access, you willwant groups to reflect their scope of authority or jurisdiction. If thesame person is the agency administrator for all groups in youragency, then this consideration is not important.Although multiple people can have agency administrator access,the information each agency administrator sees in the AgentAdmin <strong>Tools</strong> is the same. Each agency administrator sees allgroups created for your agency. It is your responsibility to enforcerules with each other so that each agency administrator knowswhich groups he or she should maintain or own.For example, you may need three groups if your agency has nineoffice locations and Sue will administer five, Joe three, and Mariaone. Each person must know the name of the groups to whichthey should make changes. Each person should understand thathe/she should not make changes to the groups for which he orshe is not responsible. Enforcing these rules will prevent oneagency administrator from making a change and another agencyadministrator undoing that change.Your organizational structureGeographical locationsIf certain office locations have a different business model thanother locations, then you may want to create a group for eachmodel.If your agency will have agency administrators in multiple officelocations that can easily be distinguished from each other, thenyou may want to create groups to match the geography.Examples include:North, South, East, WestGermany, Italy, FranceType of business function or personaYou may have a mix of business functions and want to creategroups that reflect these differences, such as Leisure, Corporate,and Marketing.If you plan to lock agents while other agents perform additionaltesting of new software updates, you may want to create twogroups: one group of test agents and one group of remainingagents. This will let you lock all the remaining agents and simplyleave the group of test agents unlocked.After you consider how your agency needs to administer your agents and you determine a strategy, you can create groups.AG<strong>EN</strong>CY ADMINISTRATOR TOOLS – <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace user guide Page 4 of 15

Anagent is entitled to have a product according to geographical location and whether or not your agency has contractual agreements with<strong>Sabre</strong>.For example, your group may have eighteen agents, where six are located in Country A and the remaining twelve are in Country B. Ifyou view the setting for a product that applies to only Country A, then the number of entitled agents would be six. The remaining twelveare not entitled to have the product.If you choose not to change the configuration settings, then your agents will receive the default <strong>Sabre</strong> settings.T O V I E W C O N F I G U R A T I O N S E T T I N G S F O R A G R O U P1.

Updates can include anew software release, a fix to a known problem, or a critical update to protect the stability of the <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace application oryour data.An agent receives <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace updates as soon as the updates become available from <strong>Sabre</strong>, unless the agent is locked. Alock prevents the agent from receiving any software updates for a period of time. There are two kinds of locks:<strong>Sabre</strong> lock<strong>Sabre</strong> may lock an agent or agency while researching a reportedproblem.<strong>Agency</strong> lockThe agency administrator may lock one or more agents to preventthem from receiving updates.For example, an agency wants two agents to receive the updatesto validate that the update is safe for the agency environment. Inthis case, the agency administrator locks all of the agents (exceptfor the two test agents) to prevent them from receiving theupdates. The two test agents receive the updates. After theycomplete their validation and deem the update safe, the agencyadministrator unlocks the remaining agents so they can receivethe updates.IMPORTANT NOTE: <strong>Sabre</strong> will unlock agents locked by theagency administrator only upon the agency‟s request or if acritical update is needed that could impact the security or integrityof the <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace application or its data.Both of these locks are independent of each other. If either or both locks are enabled, then the agent will not receive <strong>Sabre</strong> RedWorkspace updates until both locks are disabled.AG<strong>EN</strong>CY ADMINISTRATOR TOOLS – <strong>Sabre</strong> Red Workspace user guide Page 10 of 15


If the agency administrator chooses not to lock any agents and <strong>Sabre</strong> has not locked the agents, then those agents will receive <strong>Sabre</strong>Red Workspace updates as the updates become available.U N D E R S T A N D I N G E X P I R A T I O N D A T E SAn expiration date is a date when the lock expires. When the lock expires, the agent will receive all pending software updates. Althoughthe duration between the lock date and the expiration date can vary, the default is 21 days.A <strong>Sabre</strong> lock may or may not have an expiration date, depending on the reason why the agent was locked. An agency lock always hasan expiration date.The agency administrator can unlock an agent he/she previously locked at any time before the expiration date arrives, or just wait forthe expiration date to unlock the agent automatically.All dates appear in GMT -5 (US Daylight Savings Time or GMT -6 (US Central Standard Time), whichever applies.U N D E R S T A N D I N G R E L O C K D A T E SAfter the agency administrator unlocks an agent or the agency lock expires, a relock date is calculated. A relock date is the date whenan agent can be locked again after being unlocked. Although the duration between the unlock date and the relock date can vary, thedefault is 5 days.During the time after the expiration date passes, but the relock date has not yet arrived, the agency administrator cannot lock the agent.The agent does not appear in the list of agents who are not locked.All dates appear in GMT -5 (US Daylight Savings Time or GMT -6 (US Central Standard Time), whichever applies.T O L O C K O R U N L O C K O N E O R M O R E A G E N T S1.
