Admin Permissions

Note

📁 Permissions are namespaced, which is sort of like having files inside of folders.

The permissions listed on this page all belong to the admin namespace. You can select them individually, or you can just select admin to enable the whole bunch.

Admin permissions in the New Role dialog

Admin permissions are shown at the top of the New Role dialog…

Note

🤔 I thought agents could already manage user accounts?

Agents can create and edit customers, but they can’t:

  • modify anyone’s permissions (roles or groups)
  • modify anyone’s passwords
  • edit other agents’ accounts

Danger

🏴‍☠️ This permission allows users to hijack other user sessions.
