Create and assign custom administrator roles to have better control over permissions

dominKnow | ONE support the creation of custom Administrator roles to help control feature access and permissions. 

This option is off by default, as it requires the client team to designate one administrator who can create these custom roles.

If you'd like to access this option, please send a message to our support team.

When this feature is turned on in a site, the designated administrator can access the Manage Roles panel for Administrators Roles:

  • Select the Application Menu (1)
  • Select Users (2)
  • Select Administrator Roles (3)

On the Role Manager panel for Authors, you can:

  • Add new roles
  • Edit or remove existing Roles

Adding a New Custom Administrator Role

To add a new custom administrator role:

  • Select Add Role (1)
  • Add a Title. You can also select Is Default to set the new role to be the default for new administrators being invited moving forward, plus set an Expiry date for the role. Then, select or deselect the permissions you wish the role to have. (2)
  • Select Ok (3)

When you add a new role, the default-selected permissions on the Create Role panel reflect the permissions of the system Default administrator role.

Editing an Existing Custom Role

To edit an existing custom administrator role:

  • Select the Role (1)
  • Select Edit (2)

You can then make any required changes on the panel that opens, and save them by selecting Ok.

Any Administrators currently assigned to the edited role will now have the changed settings.

Available Permission Settings and System Default Administrator Settings 

On the Create and Edit Role panels, the permission settings are broken down into several categories.
