Use Deployment Manager to manage the deployment

Dynamics 365 Deployment Manager is a Microsoft Management Console (MMC) snap-in that system administrators and value-added resellers use to manage Deployment Administrator accounts, organizations, servers, and licenses for Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) deployments.

Note the following:

  • To use Deployment Manager, you must have the Deployment Administrator role. During Dynamics 365 Server Setup, the process automatically assigns that role to the user who is running Setup.

    Important

    Make sure that at least two or three trusted people have the Deployment Administrator role. This avoids system lockout if the primary deployment administrator is unavailable.

  • To create and manage Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) user accounts, you must use the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) web client or Dynamics 365 for Outlook.

  • The Deployment Administrator role is separate from the Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) user security role. A Deployment Administrator may or may not have a Dynamics 365 Customer Engagement (on-premises) user security role.
