Assigning domain administrators
The Domain Administration feature lets you assign a User access to some account management features. The features selected in this module are accessible to the User when they access the MFT Server Web Client (see the image at the bottom of the page).
A User that is a domain administrator can manage Users, Drops Zones and URL Branding, depending on the options selected. For more extensive administrative features, consider creating an administrative account (Administrators) with an optional role (Managing administrative roles) to limit administrative capabilities.
To assign a User domain administration privileges, navigate to [Domain] > ACCOUNTS > Users, then select the desired User or Template. Click Edit, then click the Domain Administration tab.
Below you will find a description of the fields.
