Resource access
The form includes a Resource access area with the note to choose which sections the admin can see and manage. Sections such as Products and Orders have both a read and a write checkbox. It also has Select all and Clear buttons and a counter of selected resources.
A new admin has no section access until you grant it. A super administrator keeps full access to every section.
Saving replaces the admin's whole access list with what is ticked on the form, so check that every section they still need stays ticked before you add a new one.
Form toolbar
Control | What it does |
Save | Unavailable when a form first opens. Becomes available after you change a field value. |
Delete | Appears on the edit form but not on the create form. Once removed, the admin loses all ability to log in. |
Notes
If you are not a super administrator, the list leaves out super administrators. A super administrator sees every admin.
Super administrator accounts are protected from deletion, and that protection holds against other super administrators too.
Changing an existing admin's password signs that admin out everywhere. Because whoever sets the new password can then sign in as that admin, reserve password changes for trusted operators.
A password you type must be at least 8 characters and include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter and a digit.
