The "Enable/Disable Account" icon allows you to activate or de-activate functionality for a specified account. If you wish to disable an account, you must also enter a reason for doing so when prompted. Finally, the "Delete Account" icon allows you to delete an administrator account.

Setting Access Permissions

You can set an account's access permissions by clicking the "Set Access Level" icon to the left of a particular account username. on the access level page, you will be able to choose from "Sub-Admin" and "Full Admin".

Setting a Basic Access Level

A full admin will have administrative privileges over all sites in your database, while a sub-admin can only edit specified sites.

The "Detailed Admin Access" section allows you to limit access to certain areas of the CARMA Admin, such as Accounts Admin or Sites Admin by filling in the corresponding checkbox under "Denied?". You can also mark if the admin owns the available content shown on your site.

CARMA Admin Access Restrictions

You can choose which sites to allow sub-admin access to by using the "Detailed Sub-Admin Site Access" section. Filling in a checkbox under "Denied?" will disallow that sub-admin from accessing specified sites.
