About System Administration Permission Levels

Use the System Administration permission levels to give users different kinds of control over administrative features in the application. Here are the System Administration permission levels you can assign, and what they will enable users to do.

Note: You can only use the following standard permission levels for System Administration permissions.
Full Access
This permission level allows control over every facet of the system. This level should only be assigned to users who are cleared to administer the system from a technical standpoint. It also gives access to view and administer all content in the system. Full Access supersedes all other permissions at the space level and beyond. In other words, with Full Access, a person can do anything in the application whether or not they're explicitly granted permission to do it.
Manage System
This permission level allows control over all technical aspects of the Admin Console. However, it does not automatically grant access to all community content. If your system has content in spaces that should be kept confidential, grant this permission to technical administrators.
Manage Community
This permission level allows similar access as Manage System, plus the ability to create and manage spaces, space permissions, and system announcements. Users with this permission level can also view all space content, regardless of permissions, but they cannot view private groups and messages, nor personal container content.
Moderate Content
This permission level allows the user(s) to moderate social group content as well as perform global moderation duties across all spaces. This level does not enable Admin Console access. When this level is granted to a user group, all moderated content will pass through their queue before it appears in the community. For more about moderation, be sure to read the Moderation section.
Manage Users
This permission level allows the user(s) to manage the users of the application. For more about this, see Managing User Accounts and User Groups.
Manage Groups
This permission level allows the user(s) to create and manage user groups, such as for assigning permissions. For more about this, see Managing User Accounts and User Groups.
Manage News Streams
This permission level allows the user(s) to manage the News page, including creating and managing news streams for users and creating and configuring tiles on the News page.
