Plan an Admin Profile

Before you add an admin profile, consider the following points for determining specific permissions:

• Determine the permissions that should be enabled for each user with that admin profile, such as edit, delete, clear, run, unlock, and more.

• Is there an existing admin profile with the proper permissions that meets the needs of the user, or does a new admin profile need to be created?

• When creating and editing an admin profile, consider the following points.

  • If you want the partial administrator to be able to access the admin profile, they must be added as a user to the admin profile.

  • If you are assigning the user from the Edit Admin Profile page, you can only add users with an account type of Partial Administrator.

  • An admin profile partial administrator can exercise their assigned permissions to any admin profile to which they belong, regardless of who created the profile.

• You can assign the same or more restrictive privileges to users assigned to the admin profile; users cannot elevate their assigned permissions within the admin profile.

• In order for the Admin icon to appear, a user must belong to at least one admin profile.

• Belonging to an admin profile gives that user access to the admin managers to which they have been granted rights. It does not give them access to the Admin Profiles Manager.

In addition, note the following about full and partial administrators:

• The List permission is automatically selected for most admin managers and cannot be removed.

• To remove an admin manager from the admin profile, select the admin manager in the list and click Remove.

• Users assigned WebEOC Nexus full administrator privileges through the Users Manager have full configuration permissions in the Admin Profiles Manager. This overrides any permissions set in the Admin Profiles Manager.

• Partial administrators have access to only the admin managers and permissions to which they have been assigned.

• Partial administrators cannot elevate their permissions to another admin profile.

• A partial administrator sees only those permissions that they have been assigned. If their user account has been assigned WebEOC Nexus full administrator privileges, they can enable and/or disable all permissions for all admin managers.
