Managing Administrator Permissions
You can add administrators and administrator groups and grant them specific permissions for the administrator portal.
There are super administrators, common administrators, and system administrators.
- Super administrators have permissions to manage all organizations, applications, and menus in the administrator portal.
- Common administrators have permissions to manage only specific organizations, applications, and menus (except the menus on the homepage) in the administrator portal.
- System administrators have permissions to manage all organizations, applications, and menus (except those in the administrator permission function) in the administrator portal. They are accounts generated by tenant sub-accounts logging in to the administrator portal.
System administrators are in the system management group by default, which is not displayed in the administrator portal.
