Site Admin privileges in Microsites
If a community is associated to a Microsite, the community's Community Admins automatically have Site Admin privileges also. In these cases:
- The Community Admins are not included in the Add/Edit list of the Site Admins column of the Pages > Sites > List page (as regular Site Admins do).
- The Community Admins will display Community, Site in the Admin Roles column of the Users > List page.
- Super Admins can enable and disable permissions (for additional control of these Site Admins) in Site Setup > Admin (tab).
