Manage Admin Users

KB14312


New users can only be added by an Administrator.

There are 4 types of user that authorize or disable various areas of the administration system.

The Administrator
An administrator has top level privileges. An administrator has full access to all areas of the site. Only administrators can add new administration accounts.

The Regular User
Everything is available to the regular user except the adding and deleting of admin user accounts and the setup pages of the administration area.

The Writer
A writer is a user that contributes articles and web pages to the site only. Any items saved by a writer will need to be authorized by an Administrator or Regular user.

The Translator (Multiple Language Sites Only)
A translator user is similar to a regular user but privileges to access the dictionary where multiple languages are displayed.


Only administrators can add and delete user accounts.
Users will be able to change their Username and Password at any time

Assigning a product category to a User
When running a large web project with many web contributors you can restrict certain users from being able to update all listings / products in the site. You may wish to assign certain admin users to specific areas of the site to manage. We do this by assigning product / listings categories to specific users. Users can be assigned one or more categories. If this is the case then the restricted user will only be able to manage products / listings within their dedicated category or categories.
