Projectmates Administrators

There are 3 types of administrators in Projectmates: Site Administrators, Project Administrators, and Co-Administrators.  Knowing the differences between the three can help you when deciding who should get which status.

Site Administrators:This administrator has the highest level of access in Projectmates.  The Site Admin can access any project or user on the system.  They have the capability of permanently deleting projects, changing the look and feel of Projectmates, and granting other users access to Portfolio, Bids/Planroom, Campaigns, and Site Admin areas.

Project Administrators: Each project will have a designated user who is the Project Administrator.  The Project Administrator has full access within that project.  He/She will have the ability to add users and roles, create threads, and assign rights to users in that project.  The changes that a Project Administrator makes to his/her project will only effect that single project. Project Administrators also have the ability to delete or park their own project.  When a new project is first created the Project Administrator will default to the user that is creating the project; however, this user can be changed later.  There can be only one Project Admin per project.

Co-Administrators:The Project Administrator of a project can assign one or more Co-Administrators to help manage the project. Co-Administrators have nearly the same access as Project Administrators.  They too can add users, threads, and grant permissions in the Project.  The differences being, a co-administrator cannot assign other co-administrators or change the project administrator.  They also cannot delete or park the project. These capabilities are reserved solely for the Project Administrator.

Note: The three types of administrators described above do not affect the permissions that a user has to individual threads within a project.  The rights associated with viewing and creating new items in threads are dependent upon a user's ROLE in that particular project.  That being said, any of the administrators above have the ability to change their role in a project so that they have the appropriate rights to threads.

I am visiting for the first time and wanted to post comments. I am going to be your regular reader.

First of all the location to post comments is not user friendly. I have to search for some time to find this location. Please show this on the top of the page, if possible.

Secondly, the material is excellent and has substantial information.

Best wishes to the team. Looking forward to a nice extra large sized shirt.

Thanks,
