IPAC Server Administrator's Manual

Administrator Roles

Administrator roles are an assigned set of permissions that allow an administrator access to
the various sections of the IPAC Server™. For example, the IPAC Server™ provides a few
preloaded administrator roles, one of which is called Receptionist. An administrator who
has been given the role of receptionist has the capability to view and modify device status
and to view activity. If additional permissions are desired, a new administrator role can be
created or an existing administrator role can be edited to add new permissions.
Administrators can be assigned a number of different roles, all granting different
permissions. If any action is granted by a role, an administrator with that role is allowed
that action regardless of other roles the administrator may have.
Each account in the system has a reserved role, called System Administrator or Account
Administrator (for the system and sub-accounts respectively). These roles cannot be
modified or deleted, and have certain permissions that cannot be granted to other roles.
For example, the ability to create and edit new administrator roles is restricted to the
reserved role only. As a special case, the System Administrator role must always be
assigned to at least one administrator. This protects against accidental complete system
lock-out.
To view administrator roles:
1. Scroll over the Configuration link. The sub-navigation menu displays.
2. From the Account link, select Administrator Roles. The Administrator Roles List
page displays.
