Important Information about Custom User Privileges

An administrator user has access to specific features in the Skillport Administrator based on his user profile. If your site has been configured to support it, you can further define a user's access to administrative features by customizing their user privileges. As you do so, keep in mind the following:

  • If you clear a privilege check box (to remove the privilege for the user), all subordinate privileges are no longer available to the user. For example, if you clear the Users & Groups check box, the user cannot access any of the user, group, and asset assignment features.
  • If a privilege is removed for a user, the user cannot access the related feature in the Skillport Administrator.
  • By default, only super administrators have the privilege to delete users and groups. To grant this privilege to users with other administrator or manager profiles, you must customize the user's privileges as described in this section and ensure that you select the check box for the privilege.
  • You cannot customize user privileges for users with the Super Admin profile.
  • If a user has been customized with a removed user privilege, that user cannot grant that particular privilege to any other admins he creates. For example, if he does not have access to delete users, no other admins he creates will have the option to delete users.
  • Users with a Manager profile cannot set custom user privileges for other users.
  • Users with custom privileges are represented by icons that include a wrench, for example, custom Admin for custom administrators.
