Admin Groups & Permissions
- Click 'Account management' > 'Admin groups & permissions'
- The 'Admin Groups & Permissions' area lets you create and set the privileges of admin user groups. Any users you place in an admin group will inherit the privileges of the group.
- There are two sets of permissions:
- Customer permissions are high-level admin privileges which cover all domains on the account. For example, add domains, configure user permissions, modify email templates, view customer info, manage admins, generate reports, etc.
- Domain permissions are technical privileges to configure and manage antispam on specific domains. For example, setup recipients, configure the delivery queue, configure whitelists and blacklists, etc.
- You can create multiple admin groups, each with different permission levels. Admin groups save time by avoiding the need to set permissions for every new administrator.
- There are two types of group you can add:
- Add Group - Creates a ‘blank’ group with no permissions set. You add all permissions that you require.
- Add Domain group - Creates a group with sufficient permissions enabled to manage a domain. This is just a time-saving feature which avoids the need to select permissions from scratch.
- The ‘Customer Permissions’ tree on the right shows all privileges which are enabled by default
- You can enable or disable these permissions as required in your custom domain group
- Open the ‘All Domain Permissions’ tree to choose the domains over which group members have control. You can set permissions on a per-domain basis in here.
- The items available in the console will vary according to the permissions of the admin. See 'Manage Permissions for Administrators' in 'Administrators' on how to add administrators to predefined groups.
Create admin groups
- Click 'Account management' > 'Admin groups & permissions'
The admin groups & permissions interface is displayed.
By default, power administrators group is available. Power administrators have all customer and domain permissions enabled. You cannot edit or delete this default group.
- Tick
a group from the right side to view the permission levels assigned
for it.
- Click on the arrow beside a permission to display the tree structure of second level of permissions, if available.
For administrators in the 'Power Administrators' group, all permission levels will be enabled. The 'Permission' level is divided into two categories, 'All customer permissions' and 'All domain permissions'.
Customer permissions and domain permissions are two different settings. Customer permissions deals with configuring general privilege levels for the admin group. Domain permissions relates to what the admin can do in the domain(s).
- Customer permissions – Determines general privileges for the administrator. For example the admin can add domains, configure admin and user permissions and so on.
- Domain permissions – This pertains to domain level privileges. Determines what domains the admins can manage, for example, remove the domain, manage incoming and outgoing user for the domain and so on.
- See the full list of privilege levels below.
- 'Add
Domain group' allows you to create groups for domain management with
predefined customer permissions. Though you can create domain
management groups using 'Add group' also, this feature is useful if
you want to create a large number of domain groups.
