Administrate Administrators

The idea behind this module is to add and administrate your site's administrators. Administrators are users that have access to some or all of the "Admin Suite" and can preform actions covered in this manual. Click on "Senior Administrators" in "Admin Suite" and you will be directed to the window shown below.

Add Administrator

From this window you can add a new site administrator. "Administrator's Name" should be the full name of the administrator you are adding. "Email" will be the e-mail address that the administrator uses to log-in to the "Admin Suite" and "Password" is the password associated with this log-in address (note: passwords are case sensitive).

When you are finished filling out these three fields, click "Submit". If at any point you wish to start over, you can click on the "Reset" button and the three fields will be returned to their saved values. Submitting this form will take you to a thank you page, at which time you should click on "Senior Administrator".

Administrate Administrators

The first option in this window is a pull-down list that allows you to specify which administrators are listed based on their approval status. Below this there is a list of all the administrators that meet the requirement you have made in that list. "ID" is the unique integer ID of the administrator. "Name" and "Email" are the first two fields you entered in the "Add Administrator" window. "Admin Lvl" is the level of this administrator (this will be explained momentarly). The status of an administrator is indicated by a highlighted checkmark if it is approved, a highlighted x-mark if it is rejected and a highlighted question mark if it is pending. To switch between the three states you can click on one of the darkened two buttons. Keep in mind that an administrator must be approved for the account to be useable.

If you would like to edit the details of an administrator, you can click on the "Edit" button to the right of the listing and you will be taken to the window shown below.

From this window you can edit the same information that you entered during administrator creatation. The next option after these three fields is the "Access Level" pull-down list. This list allows you to set this administrator as either a "Junior Administrator" or a "Full Administrator". The latter of the two has full access to all the functions of the "Admin Suite" where as the "Junior Administrator" only has access to the areas of the "Admin Suite" specified below. The next pull down list allows you to change the approval status of this administrator. When you are finished with these options, don't forget to click "Submit"!!!!

The last thing in this window is a list of all the areas of the "Admin Suite". If the section is marked with a highlighed checkmark then this administrator has access to that area and if it is marked with a highlighed x-mark then he/she does not (note: this is overridden if you set this administrator to a "Full Administrator").

When you are finished editing this administrator you can either click on "Admin Administrator" to continue with editing of administrators or you can click on "Admin Suite" if you are done.
