 In the new metadata administration tool the role of subadmins is a new feature. It enables regular metadata admins to delegate the administration of metadata of individual IdPs/SPs to third parties. They do not have to involve DFN-AAI hotline into account creation for subadmins. (Regular metadata admins with full access still have to be registered via the hotline though.) In the new metadata administration tool the role of subadmins is a new feature.

-===== Main differences between old and new MD admin tool ===== 
-^ old ^ new ^ 
-| password login only | **2FA** is mandatory | 
-| self-signed certificate had to be verified by the hotline | **Self-signed certificates** can be used without hotline interaction | 
-| All metadata admins had write access to everything in the organization's account. | Metadata admins can add **subadmins** and delegate certain metadata entries to them. | 
-| Logos/Favicons were published in the metadata as external URLs. It was possible to link to images with unsuitable sizes. | (New) **Logos/Favicons** are uploaded to the tool and delivered by it. Files are scaled to the right size during the upload. | 
-| New entities could be added by fetching xml metadata from a remote URL. | Existing **xml metadata files** can be uploaded. | 
-| Scopes were entered in the IdP metadata form. | **Scopes** are regarded as meta information that is maintained on the level of the organization. They can then be assigned to individual IdPs. |
