The article aims to show the Power Users feature in the People application. This feature will allow you to give certain users access to the People Admin panel on a more restrictive level.

The information below is outlined in the video.

What is a power user?

Power users are specific users who are not necessarily People Admins but have limited access to the back-end of the People application.

You can configure these users to create new and edit existing accounts while alerting administrators to any change they apply.

To view a list of Power Users & their permissions, navigate to Admin > People > Power users.

How to set up a power user

1. Head to Admin > People, and select the user you wish to make a Power user.

2. Navigate to the Other settings tab and click on the Edit power user rights option.

3. You can determine what the user can do by checking the appropriate boxes and applying the permissions accordingly.

You can control permissions for power users even more by allowing them to only manage specific Users/Roles/Groups and not all users in your system.

Please note: All registered should not be entered for power user rights, as this hardcoded group includes all users on the site and power users are being made responsible for only certain groups.

If a user should be responsible for everyone then they should be made an application administrator of People rather than a power user.

A power user is a person who is being given more responsibility to manage some users, not all like an application administrator.

e.g. The below power user will be able to add new users, edit and manage users within the 'Marketing' People group, but no one else. Their power user rights mean they can navigate to the admin side to perform these duties, and only those in the Marketing group will appear there are editable.
