Use the create form on the Admins screen to enter a new admin's name, email address, and password. An admin account lets a person sign in to the Admin Panel, and the account opens only the sections you grant it.

Before you begin

  • Each section can be granted read access, which lets an admin view it, or write access, which also lets the admin make changes.

  • Creating an admin is a write action, so your own account needs write access to the section that manages admins.

Steps

  1. In the Admin Panel menu, open Admins.

  2. On the Admins screen, select CREATE. The Create Admins form opens.

  3. In Name, enter the admin's name.

  4. In Email, enter the admin's email address.

  5. In Password, enter a password for the admin. Name, Email, and Password are required.

  6. Optional: In Description, enter a description for the admin.

  7. Optional: In Resource access, select the read and write checkboxes for each section the admin should see and manage. A section with no grant stays closed to the admin. If you are not a super admin, saving can succeed while silently discarding the access grants you selected.

  8. Optional: Set Receive system notifications to the state you want for this admin.

  9. Select Save. Save is unavailable on the empty form and becomes available after you change field values.

Result

After you save, the new admin can sign in to the Admin Panel. If you save the admin without selecting any resource access, they can sign in but will not see any section.
