Admin Roles: Add Role

Omnilert includes several default administrator roles. These roles will fit many situations. However, sometimes a "stock" role just doesn't fit your use-case.

If you need to create multiple admin accounts with customized permissions, you need a custom admin template.

In such a situation, you can create a new Admin Role.

Create your own admin roles on the Settings >> Admin Roles >> Add Role menu.

To create a new role, select Add Role from the menu, then enter a name for this role, a description, and select one of the 5 system default admin roles as a starting point.

Once ready, click Add role to save the new role.

The new role will be added as an "Inactive" role so that it can be edited before use.

Editing the new role is pretty simple. You can, of course, edit the name an description in the Role details tab.

The primary purpose of creating a custom role is to set permissions for admins. So, click on the Permssions tab to edit permissions for our new role.

To edit a custom admin role's permissions and feature access, simply check/uncheck the boxes corresponding to the features in Omnilert.

The admins in this role will have access to anything that's checked.

To remove access to a feature for all admins with this role, uncheck its corresponding box.

A popular option is to remove access to All Subscribers using a custom admin role. (See this article)
