Admin Audit Page

The Admin Audit page is a dedicated area available to site administrators. It allows for greater visibility of users with assigned administrative rights.

The page can be accessed via the Site Administration >  Admins option. 

The default view shows the Admin table with all rows minimized.

The Account/User column header shows which account and user the permissions have been assigned to.

To expand and view all the users under the Account/User column, simply click the arrow on the left-hand side highlighted below. 

Once expanded, a list of all users with admin permissions will be shown. 

The next headers show the admin role types. 

Understanding the Admin Audit page

Permissions may have been granted at an account or user level or inherited by an account assignment. This is presented as ticks within the table. 

See a brief description of what each tick means

Black tick: Indicates that an admin right has been assigned at either an account level or directly at the user level. 

Grey tick: Indicates that an admin right has been inherited from the account level.

Double grey tick: This will only appear on the account header before selecting the dropdown to indicate that the account contains users who have been assigned admin permissions.   

Users will see how the permissions have been assigned in more detail once the account dropdown has been selected and the table expanded using the arrow. 

See the breakdown of the Admin Audit page Account/User table below:

1. admin right has been assigned at the account level. Black tick
2. admin right inherited from the account assignment. Grey tick
3. admin right directly assigned at the user level. Black tick
4. admin right not assigned at account level, but account contains users with this admin right assigned. Double grey tick
5.  No admin right is assigned at the account or user level. No ticks.
