Granting Administrative Privileges

You can grant a user administrative privileges at the time you create the user, or you can edit the user/resource record at a later time. A user with these privileges has access to all functionality under the Admin tab.

Note: Admin users do NOT implicitly get permissions to view/modify entities such as projects, tasks, issues, and so on. The admin user must be granted permission to act on an entity, just like any other user.

Granting admin privileges when creating a user

The Create New User dialog has an Admin? setting. Select this checkbox when you create the user.

  3. Click Select.
