You can assign each user the modules that he or she is authorized to work with. The number of modules available varies depending on the license that you purchased.
When you go via the Users tree item to edit user data, you can search for users and select the users to whom you wish to assign specific modules in the Edit Module Assignment dialog window. In the Search dialog, you can also assign modules to multiple users simultaneously.

1. Select or clear the check boxes for the modules available.
Smart Tree - If you select this check box, the check box for SmartEdit is also selected.
The check box for SmartEdit is grayed out. You cannot clear the SmartEdit module for SmartTree. If you have restricted the number of users for SmartEdit, no user is counted for the SmartTree assignment. The SmartTree module allows you to assign users the Administrator, Site Builder, Editor, Author or Visitor role for a project.
SmartEdit - If you select this check box, you can assign users the Editor, Author or Visitor role for a project.
Template Editor - You can only select this check box when the check box for SmartEdit is also selected. Allows you to assign users the Template Editor role for a project.
Translation Editor - You can only select this check box when the check box for SmartEdit is also selected. Allows you to assign users the Translation Editor role for a project.
Server Manager - If you select this check box, the current user is allowed to work with the Server Manager.

If all authorizations are selected, the user will have full access rights in the Server Manager. If just one of these rights is denied, the user will only have limited options in the Server Manager. In the Server Manager, a user may only administer the projects assigned to him or her. These authorizations are logical dependencies.
Asset Manager - You can only select this check box when the check box for SmartEdit is also selected. When selected, a user is allowed to work with the Asset Manager.
2. Confirm with OK. The Next button lets you assign the user to one or several groups, and to edit the user's project assignments.
Users with Limited Rights in Server Manager
If a user has been assigned the Server Manager module and all authorizations have been granted, the user has full access rights in Server Manager. If just one of these rights is denied, the user will only have limited options in Server Manager. This user may only administer the projects assigned to him or her.
Users who have been assigned at least one right in the user administration always have access to some actions, regardless of which rights they have been assigned.
These actions include all those that do not affect user data, for example, E-mail notification to all users, Show all users, and Log off active users in project.
Users who require access to the user administration must be assigned at least the SmartTree module. They may administer (with respect to user administration rather than project administration) only those projects in which they were assigned SiteBuilder authorization. In particular, these users cannot assign other users to projects or change existing user assignments to projects if they are not assigned to the respective projects or have not been assigned at least the site builder role.
Users with limited rights in Server Manager can never change the rights of other users in Server Manager.
Administering Users and Groups Users
0Server Manager05/2009
A user with limited rights in Server Manager cannot change the module assignments of other users if the other users need the module for a project that the user with limited rights in the Server Manager is not allowed to administer. A user with limited rights in Server Manager cannot take away rights to the SmartTree module from another user, if the other user has a higher role than the user with limited rights in the Server Manager. This also applies in projects that the user with limited rights in the Server Manager is allowed to administer If, for example, a user with limited rights in Server Manager has the role of site builder and the other user has the administrator role, the user with limited rights in Server Manager cannot take away the rights of the other user for the SmartTree module or the assignment of the other user to the project. If the other user has been assigned the Administrator role and the Template Editor and/or Translation Editor modules, the user with limited rights in the Server Manager cannot take away the other user's rights to the project or remove any of the editors. However, if the user was only assigned the site builder role in the respective project that the user with limited rights in Server Manager also has the right to administer, this user may assign the other user the roles Editor, Author, or Visitor-or even remove the user from the project entirely.
A user with limited rights in Server Manager does not need to be assigned the modules Translation Manager or Template Editor in order to assign these to other users in a project that the user with limited rights in the Server Manager administers.
Users with limited rights in Server Manager will only see the projects that they are authorized to administer when importing accounts. If the license model is set up in such a way that there may be concurrent administrators, the user with limited rights in Server Manager can import users as administrators. However, these users are automatically assigned the same roles in the project as the user with limited rights in Server Manager. Users with limited rights in Server Manager therefore cannot assign the role administrator if they are themselves only assigned the site builder role.
Users with limited rights in Server Manager only have access to all groups if they were at least assigned the right to create groups. If they have the right to delete groups, they can also delete all groups. Without the right to create groups, they are limited to deleting or assigning groups that they themselves have been assigned to.
