Adding a New Admin User in Freedom

NOTE: The Accrisoft Freedom support policy restricts Accrisoft staff from adding additional security users to a Freedom site when requested by our customers due to security concerns.

In order to add a new administrative user to your Freedom site you can use the Security Module.

In order to add additional Security users, the current logged in administrative account must be in the [admin] group.

A new security user must have:

  1. A User ID (we suggest not using the person's email
  2. An Email address (used if they need to reset their password)
  3. A Group assigned
    • Each Freedom site can have different access levels set per group
    • If you would like a new security user to have access to all Modules within your Freedom site, you can also choose the system default: [admin]

Take care and manage your security users diligently, as they have access to change content and configuration of your Freedom site.

To create a new admin login:

1. Navigate to Website -> Security.

Here you will see the sub-tabs Users, Groups, and Access Level.

2. Under the Users tab, click the green ‘+ User’ button.
3. Enter in the admin user’s login credentials and profile information.
4. In the Access Level section, you will select which group the admin user will be in.

This will control what modules the admin user has access to.
You can create new groups under the ‘Groups’ tab.

5. Click Save once completed.

Since the group determines what modules the admin user has access to you can manage the group’s access under the ‘Access Level’ tab.

1. Click Access Level.

2. Click the pencil next to the group you want to manage.
3. Select which modules the admin user will have access to.

It is important to note that if no boxes are checked for a group, the group has access to all modules.

Once complete, click Save and you are all done.
