You can grant and remove two types of administrator access, each giving the associated user additional access and management privileges that are necessary to fulfill a specific administrative role in your organization.
- Super Admins have the highest level of access to a Higher Logic site: They can do everything a Community Admin can but they also have access to a host of Super Admin-only tools and functionality, all accessible from the Admin interface.
- Community Admins can update their community's join and view permissions, add and remove Community Admin access, restrict and remove current members, run reports, moderate Discussion and Library items, manage community events, and more.
TIP: See Admin Access Overview for a more comprehensive list of features, tools, and access available to each admin type.
Manage Community Admins
In your community:
- Click Settings.
- Click Members.
- Click the Edit Roles button associated to the desired user.
- Check the box for Community Admin. (Uncheck the box to remove the permission.)
TIP: After assigning this admin level to a user, refer them to Admin Access Overview so they can become familiar with their new responsibilities.
Manage Super Admins
NOTE: Super Admins have unlimited rights to create new content, modify and delete existing content, and update the settings for your Community Essentials site. Because of this, we recommend granting this level of access to only a small number of users whom you can trust.
- Access the Admin interface.
- Navigate to Users > Admins.
This is where you can give members Super Admin access and revoke access from current Super Admins.
- To grant access, click the plus sign to the right of the page title, enter the desired user's email address in the resulting dialog, and click Add. You can grant access to multiple users at once by entering their email addresses in a comma-separated list.
- To remove a current Super Admin's access, select them in the list and click Remove.
TIP: After assigning this admin level to a user, refer them to Admin Access Overview so they can become familiar with their new responsibilities.
