Introducing the Powerful New 'Central Administrator Role'

As part of the version 6.1 release of the e-KSF that went live on the 30th June, we created a more flexible way of granting administration rights to the e-KSF.

In summary, an organisation can nominate “central administrators”. These central administrators can then create customised administrator roles. For example, the central administrator could have one role called “post outline administrator”, with just the post outline library and approval functions in it. The central administrator can then assign the customised role to one or more individual users within their organisation. So you no longer need to ask the e-KSF support team to set up new administrators for you within your organisation!

By giving organisations complete control over who has access to specific e-KSF functions allows you to manage the administration of the e-KSF and comply with your local data security policies by, for example, allowing someone access to approve post outlines, without giving them access to employee details.

When we launched version 6.1, behind the scenes  we created current administrators a new bespoke role on behalf of all organisations, which contains all admin functions, and allocated this role to all existing administrators so you may not have picked up from the release notes that this new ‘central administrator’ role is available.

To allow you to benefit from the new customised administration functions, we need to know who in your organisation should have this access level. We will be contacting your KSF Lead within the next week to find out who within your organisation should have this new role on the e-KSF.
