Administrators are users in the system who have increased access to the platform (all Administrators will have a key icon in the top menu). Follow these steps to make any user an Administrator.

  • Click on the Admin key

  • Find the user you would like to make an Administrator (if they do not have an account yet, add them as a user)

  • Check the Admin checkbox

All Administrator permissions can be managed to provide more or less access to each Administrator.

  • Navigate to Admin > Users > Administrators

  • Set each user's permissions

Each setting provides a different level of access:

  • Is Admin: Defines whether the user is an Administrator or not

  • Settings: Allow administrators to update every administrator's permissions and to access the Settings menu under the Admin section (the Settings permission will overwrite all other permission settings and can be considered as the "SuperAdmin" setting, with full access to the platform)
