A.1.3 Administration relationship
The CSC:cloud service administrator performs the following cloud computing activities through the
administrator function functional component:
• monitor service;
• provide billing and usage reports;
• administer tenancies;
• administer service security;
• handle problem reports. The administrator function functional component invokes the
administration capabilities functional component of the cloud service provider through an end
point and interface enabled by the administration access functional component.

The administration access functional component performs any authentication of the CSC:cloud service
administrator and establishes authorization to use particular functions of the administration capabilities
functional component. The administration capabilities functional component interacts with operational
support systems functional components to carry out requests made by the CSC:cloud service administrator,
for example, the monitoring and reporting functional component.
