FileCloud enables you to create admin roles that have a set of administrator permissions that you assign them. Users that are promoted as admin users may be assigned to any of the admin roles that you have created.

Main Admin. The admin account that is created when FileCloud is installed. There is only one Main Admin account in FileCloud.

Admin User. User accounts that can access the FileCloud admin interface.

Admin Role. Role that defines the set of admin privileges for an admin user. If admin users have multiple admin roles, they have the combined admin privileges of all of the roles.

If an admin user has one role, the user has the permissions assigned to that role, but if an admin user has multiple roles, the user has the combined permissions of all of its roles.

To check all of a user's permissions:

Click Admins in the navigation panel.
In the Manage Admin Roles screen, click Check user permissions.

The User Effective Permissions dialog box opens.
In User, enter the name of the user.
The dialog box displays the user's combined permissions with checks next to them.

When you remove an admin role, you permanently delete it. To recreate it, you must create it, assign all permissions, and add users and groups again.

- Click Remove when you are prompted to confirm removal.
  
  Or:

Click Remove when you are prompted to confirm removal.

AD Admin User Email Login Restriction

If an AD promoted admin user has the same email as the default admin, the promoted admin user cannot log in to the admin portal using their email and can only log in using their AD username.

This behavior is expected since the system cannot know that the user is trying to log in to the admin portal as a promoted admin and not as the Default admin. The system expects the admin password to be provided and since a different password is entered, authentication fails.
