How to change the Administrator account credentials

The Administrator account was created when you signed up for AdButler. It has access to and control of all aspects of your AdButler account. You cannot create additional Administrator accounts, but you can change the email address associated with the Administrator.

1. While logged in as the current Administrator, click on Settings at the bottom of the left navigation menu. The Settings page will appear.
2. Click on Account. The Account section will appear.
3. Click Edit under the Email field to edit the email address associated with the account. We recommend changing the password as well.
4. Click Save.
5. You will be logged out of AdButler. The new Administrator can now log in using the new login credentials.

Creating a role

A role is a set of permissions. Each user account must have a role associated with it. There is a default role that you can customize and assign, but you can also make more roles and change the designated default role. When you make changes to a role, those changes will immediately be applied to all users with that role.

1. Click on Roles near the bottom of the left navigation menu. The Roles section will appear.
2. Click Add New. The Roles configuration page will appear.

3. Enter a name for the role.
4. Click on the checkbox beside the name field to make this the default role. (optional)
5. Enable your desired permissions for the role. Some of the permissions have details. Click on (more) to see the details about that permission.
6. Click Save. You will be taken back to the table of roles, with the role you created added to the table.

To edit a role, click on its name in the table of roles. To delete a role, click on the checkbox to the left of its name then click on Delete. You can not delete a role that is currently assigned to a user.
