With NetSol, the Admin contact has as much control as the Tech Contact - all
of which can be overridden by the Registrant.
As far as NetSol are contained the Registrant is a separate entity to the
either the Tech, Admin or billing contacts (although the same
person/organisation can be listed for each role).
The Registrant has final say over a domain, the Admin contact is responsible
for the day-to-day administration of the domain. And realistically that
person may not be the actual Registrant.

This is just an asinine policy!
All it does is create work for the RSP. It obviously wasn't originally
intended to work that way - why would you even define an admin contact
in the api if you were never going to allow RSP's to set it.
All this policy accomplishes is now I have to login as my customer and
change the admin contact to myself for EVERY domain I register. No
other registrars I've dealt with have ever required that. All it does is
waste my time. I signed on to OpenSRS because I believe in open source
solutions and you guys had the best API (not the best prices). I'm
seriously considering going somewhere else and using a proprietary API
which at least allows for me to set the admin contact.
The owner is always free to login, change their password and the admin
contact. The information is not secret, they can see who is the admin
contact and change it if they wish. I can't speak for other RSPs but I
run a web hosting business. My customers don't know diddly squat about
domain names, name servers, registrars, etc. That's what they pay me for
- To manage their web site. To do that, I need complete control. If I
add a new nameserver I'd like to be able to add it to all my registered
domains at once.
You guys need to wake up. In most cases the registrant doesn't know
anything about Tucows or OpenSRS and they don't want to. That's the
whole point of having resellers.
Am I alone in my opinion? If so I'll just accept it and go away.
Regards,
Doug
