      Adding a New Admin User in Freedom

      Add new users to manage your Freedom site's content and settings.

      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, and your user must be in the Access Level Group: [admin].  

      Users outside of that Access Level Group cannot create other admin users.

      • 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, and the ability to create new users, you can 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.

      Creating a New Administrative 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.
        • Enter the user’s login credentials and information.
        • In the Access Level section, you will select which group the admin user will be in.
      3. This will control what modules the new admin user has access to.
        • You can create new groups under the ‘Groups’ tab.
      4. Click Save once completed.

      Limiting an Administrative User's Access

      The Access Level Group that an administrator is assigned to, determines what modules they have access to.  Here is how to limit an admin users' access to your Freedom site.

      1. Go to the Security Module > Groups tab.
      2. Press the green +Group button.
        • Choose a name for this new group and press Save.
      3. Go the Security Module > Access Level tab.
      4. Press the edit pencil next your group name, in the example screenshots, our group name is "Restricted_admin".
      5. Check the boxes for how much access you want administrative users in this group to have when they log into your admin interface.
      6. Be sure to scroll to the bottom and press Save.
      7. To test the access level that your users have, you should create an additional user with the same Group Access Level, and log in as that test account.  Be sure to delete your test account afterwards for security purposes.
