User Access Level Differences

When creating a user account through the User Admin tab, you are able to set an access level for the user account. By default there are three access levels: Member, Publisher and Site Administrator. Each access level is hierarchical in that a Member has access to Member content; a Publisher has Publisher AND Member access; and a Site Administrator has Site Administrator AND Publisher AND Member access. You can create your own access levels (known as access groups) as well. Just build a custom role and set whatever level of access you want from the choices provided. Only Site Administrators can create custom access groups. Follow the steps below to do this:

• Log into your netAdventist site. 
• Go to the Dashboard and select the User Admin tab from the top of the screen.
• Select User Access Groups from the left navigation menu.
• Listed in the index are the three default access groups. 
• By selecting the name of each access group you can see what access it has--areas of access are displayed in green.
• To create a new access group, select the Add User Group button.
• Give your new access group a name, then click on the check boxes for each category of access you want for your new group.
• When finished, select Save. The new access group will be displayed on the index page, showing each access area you selected in green.
• Select the User Profile folder in the left navigation menu.
• Select a user account by clicking on the Edit link.
• Scroll to the bottom of the page and select the new access level. You will need to select both a default access level AND the new custom level.
