Administrator

icon Administrator is a role in the system that permits full, uninhibited access to any asset and/or area of the system. A user assigned the administrator role has access to both the standard " Home" area where web page assets are managed and the " Administration" area where advanced system entities and publishing can be configured. Folder access rights do not apply to the administrator role; therefore, a user with administrator rights can view, edit, copy, delete, or move an asset without restriction. Additionally, administrators have the ability to break asset locks anywhere in the " Home" area.

Because an administrator has access to the everything within the system, the role should be assigned sparingly to only authorized users who require such access. Typically, administrator operations can be handled by users with the more restricted manager role, which is one level down from administrator. Managers have all of the same administrator type access and capabilities except that access rights apply to them. Therefore, a user with manager access can be effectively permitted or locked out from areas in both the " Home" and " Administration" sections of the CMS.
