Admin Accounts

How to

1. Access Admin Accounts
2. Add or Remove Admin Permissions

Accessing Admin Accounts

To use Admin Accounts Manager you must be logged in with the administrator toolbar visible across the top of your screen. Select the button and then Admin Accounts from the drop down menu on the left of your screen.

The Admin Accounts Manager will look similar to the one below, showing each of the users or groups currently granted with administrator access.

The Manager Options menu appears on the left side of the screen.

Up to ten objects will appear on each page of the Manager. When more than ten exist in a folder the top of the Manager will change. Forward and back arrows allow movement through the pages. The drop down list shows the ID numbers for the objects on each page.

Adding or Removing Admin Permissions

Normally the 'Administrators' group can not be deleted as it is a pre-created group that, if removed, may prevent your site from operating correctly.

Other than the 'Administrators' group, you can add or remove groups and users via the buttons available as appropriate. Adding a new group to the Administrative Accounts Manager is advisable to assist in managing large groups of users.

As long as Permissions are set up correctly on your site, users can not add themselves to administrative accounts via the defined groups - unless they themselves are administrators.

Adding
 

• To Add a new Admin user, select the 'Add Admin User' button from the Manager Options Menu.
  • You will be taken to the Users Manager - all facilities open to you in the User Manager should function in the same manner as if you had accessed it directly.
    
    
  • Click on the 'Select' button next to the User you wish to add.
• To add a new Admin Group, select the 'Add Admin Group' button from the Manager Options Menu.
  • This time you will be taken to the Groups Manager. Likewise, all facilities open to you in the User Manager should function in the same manner as if you had accessed it directly.
  • Click on the 'Select' button next to the Group you wish to add.

Removing

To remove Admin Permissions from any user or group in the Amin Accounts Manager you will need to delete that User or the entire Group from this Manager. In order to do this you must first select the Radio button next to the ID number of the user or group you wish to remove. Once selected, click 'Delete' from the Manager Options Menu on the left of your screen.

If you wish to remove the permissions of a single user within an Admin Group, in order not to affect other group members with the access change it is advised that this may be better done by altering that user's status in the Groups Manager.
