Create additional site administrators

To assist in the administration of the TeamForge site, a person must have a site administrator user account with a corresponding role on that site. TeamForge administrators can create suitable site-wide roles and delegate site administration responsibilities.

1. Click Admin in the site navigation bar.
2. On the site administration navigation bar, click ROLES.
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 do 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 permissions for site administration tools as well as for applications available across all projects.
7. Select the apt site administration and/or project permissions listed 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.
