Overview

As a Rapla administrator, you have access to all (allowable by Silverband) possible configurations, and that would include managing user account. This knowledge article will guide you to perform some of the common user account management processes in Rapla.

2 Types of User Permissions in Rapla:

1 Administrator

As an administrator in Rapla, you have access to all the Configuration Folders on the Side Menus, which would give you permission to create users, switch in between accounts, create time periods, etc. Basically, all possible functionalities and features in Rapla that you are allowed to manipulate – you have control over.

2 Non- Administrator

As a non-administrator user of Rapla, you are only allowed to see the Resources Configuration Folder on the Side Menus, which would allow you to create or add new events.
