Utilities: Administration: Administrators

This page allows you to manage administrators at all levels according to your administrative privileges.

Aurea List Manager allows full delegation of rights and responsibilities to others, so that administrators only have control over what is appropriate for them to control. The three kinds of administrators are:

List Administrators

Someone (or several people) on each mailing list act as the administrator of the mailing list. They can add and remove members of the group, approve moderated messages, and other things which concern regular mailing list maintenance. A list administrator can only make other list administrators.

Site Administrators

A site administrator typically doesn't deal with the day-to-day workings of a mailing list. Instead, the site administrator can create and remove mailing lists, create documents, create auto-responders and other functions that affect the site as a whole. A site administrator is also entitled to act as the list administrator of any mailing list in their site, and may make other site administrators or list administrators.

Site administrators are often unaware of other sites on the server, nor are they aware of mailing lists belonging to these other sites.

Server Administrators

The server administrator controls how the server runs. The server administrator can create sites, and has control over things that affect all the sites and lists on their server. A server administrator can access all Site and List administration menus, and may make other administrators at any level.

Each administrator should have a unique login. Shared logins may cause web interface conflicts.
