General Settings is where you can make an administrator Active or Inactive, set them up to be an Approval Administrator or a Contact Administrator. This is also where you will check their Homepage Permissions which will control what they see when they log into the Administration Portal.
- Field Name - Security Role
- Description - The Security Role feature allows you to create and assign security roles for administrator permissions. Security roles utilize the same settings as the administrator setup and allows for roles to be configured and managed at the role level, with all updates passing to the assigned administrators.
- Security Roles are setup under Setup > Administrators > Security Roles tab, and then can be selected when setting up Admins.
- Notes:
- Once a Security Role has been assigned to an Administrator, the settings are locked and cannot be modified at the individual Administrator level. Updates will need to be managed at the Security Role level, or the employee needs to be changed to 'Not Assigned' and custom settings can be applied.
- IP address settings are defined at the Administrator level only and are not available at the role level.
- Saving changes to the Security Role settings will update all Admins assigned to the role
