A Super Admin in CloudSee Drive has elevated administrative privileges for centralized control of users, roles, permissions, and resources. A key capability of the Super Admin is the ability to create and manage additional administrator accounts in order to delegate administrative responsibilities efficiently and securely.

Why Do You Need It?

As organizations grow, managing cloud storage becomes increasingly complex. The Super Admin role simplifies management by centralizing administration and creation of admin accounts. Key benefits include:

  1. Centralized Oversight

    • Super Admins can oversee CloudSee Drive access, managing users, groups, roles, and permissions.

  2. Creation of Additional Admin Accounts

    • Super Admins can create new admin accounts with specific permissions, enabling secure delegation of administrative tasks to trusted individuals.

  3. Scalable and Flexible Administration

    • Easily add or remove admins over time, ensuring administrative coverage across all teams and projects.

  4. Improved Security and Access Control

    • Control access to sensitive data by assigning roles and restricting permissions to admins as needed.

Who Is It For?

The Super Admin role is specifically designed for Primary System Administrators โ€“ individuals who require top-line control over CloudSee Drive access and need to delegate administrative tasks by creating additional admin accounts.

How To Use It

As a Super Admin in CloudSee Drive, you can create, manage, and remove admin accounts. This enables secure delegation of administrative tasks while maintaining centralized oversight. Follow these steps to create and manage admin accounts:

Sign In as a Super Admin

  1. Access CloudSee Drive: Open your browser and navigate to CloudSee Drive.

  2. Sign In: Enter your Super Admin credentials and click the Sign In button to access your CloudSee Drive dashboard.

Repeat as needed.

3. Admin Accepts the Invitation. The invited user will receive an email with an invitation link. They must click Accept Invite to activate their administrator account.

4. Verify Admin Activation. Once the invitation is accepted, the new admin will appear in the CloudSee Administrators list and can sign in with their credentials.
