Org admin

Under Silo Security, users are grouped together under organizations, which typically align with real-world organizations. To ensure that organization goals are met, we created the org-admin role. These are platform members who have the ability to handle user management and address bulk import concerns for their organization.

Getting the Org-Admin Role

To get the org-admin role, contact either a site admin or an org-admin belonging to the organization you want to help administer.

Managing Users

Adding Users

As an Org-Admin, you are able to create and add users to your organization. To create a new user:

  1. Navigate to Administer > User Management.
  2. Scroll to the Create/Edit User section.
  3. Enter a username, email, and password. Note that a user must have a username and password to use the account, but this requirement is changing to require an email, so it is best to provide all three values.

  4. Under Roles, select the appropriate role based on the permission level you want the user to have. This is multi-select as the roles are not hierarchical.

  5. orgAdmin: grant administrative abilities to manage the organization.

  6. researcher: grant ability to process and manage encounters, individuals, and sightings.

  7. Under Organization Membership, select your organization to add a user to it.

  8. Click Save.
