Admin permissions are helpful if you have people who need access only to specific sections of Cobot, such as front desk staff, interns, or community managers. By limiting permissions, your team can work more efficiently within Cobot.

Check out this guide if you want to know how to add new administrators.


Editing Administrator Permissions

You can manage your administrator's permissions or access Cobot under Setup » Administrators » Edit.

You can revoke 'viewing' permissions, hiding the respective sections from that admin. 'Editing' permissions will allow the admin to see that section but prevent them from making changes.

IMPORTANT NOTES

  • All Administrators, by default, will have full 'view' and 'edit' permissions when they are added.

  • When you allow an admin to 'edit' the 'Administrators' permissions, they will be able to turn back on 'view' and 'edit' permissions for themselves for all other categories.

  • Admin permissions also extend to the API. Specific add-ons may not work with some permissions revoked.

  • Revoking certain permission will also hide other pages.

    • For example, if you deselect the "Memberships" view, then the admin will not be able to see anything to do with membership data, such as bookings on the calendar and events calendar.
