Administrator

Introduction

Any user that exists on RADIUSdesk belongs to one of three possible groups.

• Administrators
• Access Providers
• Permanent Users

Each of these groups will give the user a basic role to operate in.

Within a role is rights that is assigned to a user. The rights determine the privileges a user enjoys within the role they are in. The rights within a role can be tweaked in a granular way to limit a user in a very specific way.
The following examples should make things more clear:

• One Access Provider can:
  • Create Vouchers but not delete them.
  • Update a User's information but not create a User.
• Another Access Provider can:
  • Fully manage Vouchers.
  • Fully manage Users.
• One Permanent User can:
  • Update their own contact details
• Another Permanent User can:
  • Not change their contact details

To recap, you have to remember two important points:

• There are certain roles a user operates in.
• There are adjustable rights within the role the user operates in.

With this in mind, we will look at the most powerful role a user can operate in: the Administrator.

Administrator

The Administrator role is the most powerful role in RADIUSdesk. With power comes responsibility. This is why there should only be one user assigned to this role. The user which is by default assigned to the Administrator role is:

User	Password
root	admin

The following characteristics is unique to Administrator:

• He has all the rights to manage any user in the Access Provider or Permanent Users role.
• He is the root of all users created in RADIUSdesk. This means that any user is a sibling of the user in the Administrator role.
• He can potentially break something due to the powers assigned to this role.

Next we will look at the [Access Providers] role.
