Org admin

Under Silo Security, users are grouped under organizations, which typically align with real-world organizations. To ensure that organizational goals are met, Wild Me established the Org-Admin Role. These are platform members who will handle user management and address bulk import concerns for their organization.

How to apply for the Org-Admin Role

To get the Org-Admin Role, contact either a site admin or an org-admin of 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. Here’s what you need to know to create a new user:

  1. Go to Administer, then User Management.
  2. Look for the Create/Edit User section.
  3. Enter a username, email, and password.
  4. 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.
    • orgAdmin - users with administrative access to manage the organization.
    • Contributor - users that access are limited to only submit Sightings
    • Researcher - users that can manage their own data (Sightings and Individuals) and collaborations, match and merge individuals, and search
    • User Manager - users that can create and edit users, and manage user collaborations
    • Exporter - users that can export all the data they own and collaborating with
    • Administrator - users that can manage data and configure the Wildbook platform they belong to
    • Regions - users that can see all data related to the region listed
  5. Under Organization Membership, select your organization to add a user to it.
  6. Click Save.

Deleting Users

Note: Make sure to remove all roles associated with the user account you want to disable and change their password. We recommend disabling over deleting a user account if their data is trusted.

  1. Go to Administer, then User Management.
  2. In the filter box, type a username, first or last name, or other identifying information.
  3. Select a user from the user grid.
  4. Click Delete User beneath the user’s information.
