User permissions and access levels within the Admin Center

The management options within the Admin Center vary based on the administrator’s user permissions within the system. This granular control ensures that administrators can perform tasks specific to their designated level of access.

Administrators with organization-level permissions primarily operate within the My Organization section of the Admin Center.

In contrast, administrators with instance-level permissions have broader control and oversight. They can view and manage multiple sites within the instance, and the terminology used within the Admin Center reflects this shift. Instead of the My Organization section, administrators will see a list of sites associated with the instance. Under each site, they have a comprehensive set of settings and management options available. This includes the ability to create new sites, delete existing ones, and modify site-specific configurations.

Administrators with instance-level permissions can also manage user access across different sites, ensuring proper user allocation and permissions within each specific context. In addition, they can copy various settings from one site to another, streamlining the configuration process. One notable example is the ability to duplicate notifications. By leveraging this feature, the administrator can ensure that the same notification settings are applied consistently across multiple sites, and a unified approach to notifications is maintained.
