Workplace Administrators
What are Workplace Administrators?
Workplace Administrators are members who are part of the Administrators System Group. Members of this group have access to their digital workplace’s Control Panel. Through the Control Panel they can manage all aspects of their digital workplace.
Workplace Administrators have Full Access to all locations within a digital workplace. This includes Spaces and their Space Administration Panel.
Before adding a Workplace Administrator consider whether a Role would suffice. Role’s ensure that members only have the tools they need, and nothing more.
