In order to access the Admin console, you must have been previously granted administrative access rights. To have administrative access rights, you must have an administrative account. The system administrator creates an account and assigns a role with privileges for anyone to which they want to grant administrative access. The function a user is able to access and use in the Admin console depends on the roles assigned to the user in the account. You can assign users as much access as you need for them to perform their duties.
When you create a new administrative account, you must enter an account name that is unique on the system. If you create a new administrative account with a name that already exists, the software highlights the Account Name field and displays an error message indicating that the username already exists. The software retains the values that you entered in the fields except for the Password and Confirm Password fields which are cleared for security reasons. To continue adding the new user, enter a unique value in the required fields and then re-enter the password in the Password and Confirm Password fields.
