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 are shown at the top of the New Role dialog…

…and give users access to the pages of the Admin Panel.

Please be aware that these permissions only grant access to the settings/configuration in Zammad. If you want to grant agents access to tickets, see agent permissions and group permissions
