In larger organizations implementing multi-tenanted ExtraView installations, it may be useful to have multiple administrators, each of whom only have access to specific administrative functions, or only have access to modify the characteristics of specific business areas. For example, you may want to create a sub-administrative role that can only add new users and modify these user’s settings and options.
To create a hierarchy of user roles take the following steps:
- With a user who has the Administrator user role, enter Administration ==> Site Configuration ==> User Roles. Within the User Roles utility you can create the new user role or roles you require. You can also copy the initial permissions for the role(s) from the existing Administrator role.
- Within the Administration ==> Site Configuration menu, use the Grant Security Privileges function to modify the administrative permissions for the new role or role you created. Use the general category named * All administration options keys * to see all the keys that control access to the administrative functions
- Remember that you can restrict or grant access to the user roles for any administrator role
