So, we’ve told you about our multiple user types, but what does that mean? Well, we have created three unique types of users in your system: Administrator, Manager, and User. This means that if you have the authority to create users (we’ll get to that in a minute), you can then label your new addition as one of these three roles. With that said, let’s break down the roles a little further…
User
- Can change their own name, email, and password
- Can create links to public files or directories
- Can download and install the PC backup software
Manager
- Have all User capabilities
- Can create, edit, or delete users
- Can only edit and delete the users that they’ve created
- Can set new users’ passwords to known values
- Can view the activity section
Administrator
- Have all User and Manager capabilities
- Can edit and delete users they haven’t created, even their own account
- Can set other users’ home directories outside their own
- Can grant file permissions that they themselves do not have
- Can upgrade or downgrade site, which affects the monthly bill
Advanced Settings
- Of course, with advanced settings, the allowances above can be customized for each user instead of using the three-role system.
