Where to Set Admins?

Entering the Setting Page

Go to Contacts > Permission Center > Admins, and set Super Admin Group and Admin Group.


Granting Permission

1. Super admins

  • Super admins can be set by the business owner and by the super admin with relevant permissions.

  • Super admins can set permissions for regular admins and group admins according to different demands.

  • Super admins can set permissions for each other and remove super admin groups. But they cannot remove themselves from a super admin group.

2. Regular admins

  • Regular admins can only be granted permissions by super admins or the owner.

The authorization relationships of admins are as follows:

Note:

1. Each member can only be added to one type of admin group.

2. The business owner holds the highest level of management permissions within the system. Therefore, you do not need to set permissions for the owner, and the owner cannot be set as any admin.


How to Set Super Admin?

Adding a Super Admin

Click Select a member beside Super Admin.

Super Admin Permission

Type

Description

App permissions

Contacts permissions

Have permissions to manage all departments, members, roles, and admins.

How to Set Contacts Management Admin?

Contacts Management Admins support management operations such as adding, editing, deleting, disabling, and inviting personnel in internal organizations within the contacts directory. You can add management groups, set group members, and assign corresponding permissions in "Permission Center >> Admins >> System >> Contacts Management Admin Group".

1. Click the plus (+) button on the right side of "Contacts Management Admin Group", enter the name of the management group, and then click the "OK" button to add the management group.

2. After adding the management group, you can set the visibility and management permissions for admins, internal departments, or roles on the right side of the corresponding management group.

  • Visibility Permission: Only allows viewing the members of the corresponding department or role.

  • Management Permission: Allows operations such as inviting, deleting, and editing information of members within departments or roles.

How to Set Regular Admin?

A Regular Admin refers to an admin with app-level management, authorization, and add/delete permissions (supports assigning apps to authorized users). You can add management groups, set group members, and assign corresponding permissions in "Permission Center >> Admins >> Jodoo".

1. Click the plus (+) button on the right side of "Admin Group", enter the name of the management group, and then click the "OK" button to add the management group.

2. After adding the management group, you can set related permissions for admins, app management, and contacts management on the right side of the corresponding management group.

  • App Management: Allows you to specify whether admins can perform operations such as adding or deleting apps. You can also set the selectable scope for departments and roles when admins design and publish resources within the app.

  • Contacts Management: Allows you to set admins’ visibility and management permissions for internal organizations.

Notes:

  1. When "Add/Delete Apps" is enabled in any admin group, all admins in that group can add or delete apps.
    Any changes will be automatically synced to "App Permissions" and apply to all admins in the group.

  2. If a regular admin is part of multiple admin groups:

    • As long as "Add/Delete Apps" is enabled in any group, the admin can create new apps.

    • Any app created by the admin will automatically appear in all admin groups that include the admin and have "Add/Delete Apps" enabled.

    • The admin can only delete apps that are included in all admin groups they belong to where "Add/Delete Apps" is enabled.

  3. If a member is in multiple admin groups, their selectable department range for all apps is the combined range of all departments from those groups.

  4. For setting contacts permissions for admins, it’s best to configure them in "System >> Contacts Management Admin Group."
    This makes future permission management clearer, easier to control, and helps reduce maintenance costs.

The relationships of admin permissions are as follows:

Type

Admin Permission

Internal Dept.

A regular admin in multiple regular admin groups can view and manage internal departments as follows:

  • The admin can view and manage internal departments of admin groups that include the admin and have enabled View and Manage.

  • The admin can manage all internal departments in the groups, including the admin and the departments.

Internal Roles

An admin in multiple admin groups can view and manage roles as follows:

  • The admin can view and manage internal roles of admin groups that include the admin and have enabled View and Manage.

  • The admin can manage all internal roles in the groups that include the admin and the roles.

  • Members that can be added to a role are limited to the scope of management in the internal department. In that case, you need to set the permission of viewing and managing departments before you select members.

Notes:

1. The business owner and super admins can select departments of the whole company in all apps;

2. A member in multiple admin groups can select any department that the admin groups he belongs to can choose.


Querying Admin Permissions

You can query permissions in admin groups according to the names of admin groups, members, and apps.

The feature applies to the scenarios where you need to:

  • Query how many admin groups admins have and how many app management permissions they have.

  • Query how many admin groups the apps have and how many admins have app management permissions.

  • Query how many admins and apps are managed by them in some admin groups.

For example, you can query how many admins have management permissions in three admin groups of the Personal Management app. You can also query the above information by clicking one by one.


Notes

Admin Limit

1. Each member can be added to multiple admin groups. The business owner cannot be added to any admin group.

2. Members in regular admin groups cannot be added to super admin groups; similarly, super admins cannot be added to regular admin groups.

3. You can set up to 2,000 regular admin groups in Contacts, and up to 200 members for each group.

4. A member can be added to up to ten admin groups.

Using Permissions

When regular admins design forms, workflow forms, and dashboards in apps within permissions, they can only select departments and members within permissions if meeting fields and nodes that need members to select.

If admins with higher management permissions have selected members in fields and nodes, the change of admins will not influence departments and members outside permissions.

App Management

After being authorized by super admins, regular admins can have editing permission on apps within permissions. But they do not have permission to copy apps. The permissions of deleting or adding apps are set by super admins.

Audit Trail

The management operations of admins will be pushed to super admin groups in Audit Trail.


When to Set Admins?

With the Admins feature, multiple individuals can collaborate in managing Jodoo, allowing for a clear division of work within enterprises.

You can set multiple super admins (such as general managers) and set different admins (such as department managers) in Jodoo to manage their respective apps and members.
