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:
- Navigate to Administer > User Management.
- Scroll to the Create/Edit User section.
- 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.
-
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.
-
orgAdmin: grant administrative abilities to manage the organization.
-
researcher: grant ability to process and manage encounters, individuals, and sightings.
-
Under Organization Membership, select your organization to add a user to it.
- Click Save.
Deleting Users¶
- Navigate to Administer > User Management.
- In the filter box, type a username, first or last name, or other identifying information.
- Select a user from the user grid.
- Click Delete User beneath the user’s information.
Adding Users to your Organization¶
- Navigate to Administer > User Management.
- In the filter box, type a username, first or last name, or other identifying information.
- Select a user from the user grid.
- Find the Organization Membership field in the user’s information.
- Select your organization to add a user to it.
- Click Save.
Addressing Bulk Import Concerns¶
As an organization administrator, you are able to manage bulk imports for any user in your organization.
- Navigate to Administer > Bulk Import Logs.
- Select the desired bulk import task from the list.
-
Scroll to the bottom. You can take any of the following actions:
-
Send to detection: Send all imported encounters to detection. This can only be done if all encounters have not been sent to detection.
- Send to identification: Send all imported encounters to detection and identification. This can only be done if all encounters have not been sent to detection.
- Delete ImportTask: Delete the bulk import and the related data. This can be done at any time.
