Managing Administrator Security Groups

Most administrator groups are created as Admin Security Groups -- so that you can grant the members of the group access to certain parts of your administrative site. For example, you may want a group of Junior Administrators who can manage your email communications or a group who can manage your TeamRaisers or donations. These Admin Security Groups are listed separately from the User Groups -- on the Administrator Group List page.

If you want Junior Administrators to be able to Manage Admin Security groups on your site, you can grant them an Administrator Security Group Management permission type/role, from the following choices:

• Manage Administrator Security Groups -- View Admin Security Groups -- This role allows administrators access to the Administrator Group List page where they can:role allows administrators access to the Administrator Group List page where they can:

  • Add a new Admin Security Group (as well as a User Security group or a non-security group)

  • Edit an existing Admin Security group

  • Edit the permissions of Admin Security groups

  • View the Members of Admin Security groups

  Warning: This role is very powerful, as those with this role can even edit their own permissions, so you will want to grant it very selectively.

• View Admin Security Groups -- This role allows administrators access to the Administrator Group List page where they can:

  • View the List of Admin Security groups

  • View the Members of Admin Security groups

Note: The Administrator Group Management roles also require the basic Contact Management role mentioned above ("View Non-sensitive Contact Data No Tasks No Reports").

Note: The Administrator Group Management roles are also categorized, so that they can be assigned to Junior Administrators for one or more individual Security Categories, without giving them access to all Admin Security Groups on your site.
