Create Additional Site Administrators

TeamForge administrators can create suitable site-wide roles and delegate site administration responsibilities.

note

You can choose site administration permissions through site-wide roles.

1. Go to My Workspace > Admin
2. Click Roles from the Projects menu.
3. Click Create.
4. On the Site-Wide Role tab, write a name and description for the role. The role name is case-sensitive.
5. To prevent inheritance of the role into private projects, select the Prevent Access option.
   note

   Selecting the option to prevent role inheritance does not affect access to public and gated projects. On selecting Prevent access, the user may not be allowed to project-permissions related tasks in private projects.

6. Click Create. The restricted site administrator role is created. The Edit Site-wide Role Permissions page appears.
   note

   You can select the permission for site administration tools as well as for applications available across all projects.

7. Select the appropriate site administration and/or project permissions liste on the Role Permissions tab to match the responsibility assigned to a user with that role.
   tip

   You may not want to risk delegating the task of deleting projects, users, groups, roles or categories.

   note

   If you are creating a site-wide role that has Project Tracker's "Configure - Site" permission, you must also assign the "Role - View" permission.

   note

   To manage artifact types globally, users must have project administrator permissions in a site-wide role.

   The role is created. You can assign it to site members at any time.
