3.4.2 Adding and Editing Admin Users
From the System Setup screen, which you access through the System Setup icon on the main menu bar , click on the link called Manage Your Admins.
The Manage your Admins screen will open (see below). Here you can add, delete and edit admin user profiles.
To Review and/or Edit
To open an admin user profile so that you can review or edit it, you can click on the person's name from the Managing your Admin screen (above), or check the box to the left of the name and then click [Open]. The Edit an Admin Profile screen will open.
- Make the changes to the admin profile on this screen.
- Click [Save Admin Profile] on the bottom left side of your screen to save and continue managing your admins.
- Click [Cancel] to return to Manage your Admins, without saving your changes
Editing Permissions
As a Super Administrator, you also have the ability to edit the permissions assigned to regular admin users. This means you can define an individual admin user's level of access to your Bistro modules. For example, you may have one admin user who can manage content for your Event Calendar, but who does not have access to Page Manager for creating and editing the pages on your site.
To edit the permissions of an admin user, check the box to the left of that user's name and click [Edit Permissions]. The Modify Admin Permissions screen will open.
- Check the box to the right side of the module(s) you would like this admin user to be able to access.
- For example, if this admin user is responsible for adding, deleting and editing the individual pages of your site, you would check the box to the right of Page Manager (as above).
- Once you have enabled the permission for this user, click [Save Permissions] to save your changes and continue managing your admins.
- Click [Cancel] to return to Manage your Admins without saving your changes.
Adding an Admin User
Super Admin users also have the ability to add new admin users and new super admin users. To add a new admin user, from the Manage your Admin screen, click [New]. The Create a New Admin screen will open.
- From here you can enter profiles for new admin users and indicate whether or not they will have Super Admin status.
- Note: if you attempt to edit permissions for a super admin user you will be denied access. This happens because super admin users automatically have access to all areas of Bistro. If you wish to grant limited access to a user, you must add them as a regular admin not a super admin user.
- Once you have finished entering the information for your new admin user, click [Save New Admin] to save your changes and continue managing your admins.
- Click [Cancel] to return to Manage your Admins without saving your changes.
Deleting an Admin User
In the Manage your Admins area, super admins can also delete other admin users and super admin users.
- To delete an admin user, from the Manage your Admin screen, select the name of the user you want to delete and click [Delete].
- To protect you from accidentally deleting a user, you will be prompted to confirm your action.
- Bistro will also confirm once the user has been successfully deleted and you will be returned to the Manage your Admins screen.
- To continue managing your admins without deleting the selected user, click [Cancel].
Once you have finished managing your admins, return to the System Setup screen by clicking on the link at the bottom left of your page.
