Managing Admin Users

FileCloud enables you to create admin roles with a set of administrator permissions. Users assigned to any of the admin roles that you have created become admin users and have the permissions assigned to the role.

For information on about admin roles and admin users and instructions for setting them up, see Admin User and Role Settings.

Check an admin user's permissions

If an admin user has one role, the user has the permissions assigned to that role, but if an admin user has multiple roles, the user has the combined permissions of all of its roles. 

To check all of a user's permissions:

  1. Click Admins in the navigation panel.

  2. In the Manage Admin Roles screen, click Check user permissions.
