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 admin user role, enter administration, and within the Users tab create the new user role or roles. You can copy the initial permissions from the existing Administrator role.
- Within the Fields tab of Administration, 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
