Overview

As an admin, you can assign a user as an administrator to grant them full-admin access to Quantum Workplace. 

Admins have access to all of the features your organization uses. Some examples of admin-specific abilities include launching and managing cycles, analytics, and editing user demographics. 

To grant a user with limited admin access, consider adding the user as a Focused Admin to limit their access by specified demographics or a user(s)' downline.

Include: Demographics in this field define whom the Focused Admin should have access and visibility into 

Exclude: Optionally, demographics in this field define whom the Focused Admin should not have access and visibility into. 

As you add demographics, keep the following rules in mind: 

• Think of the settings as operating in order- First, demographics under Include will pull in the relevant users. Then, users who fall under the Exclude demographic(s) will be removed from the initial pool of users. 

• If multiple attributes from the same group are added, i.e. Department: Sales and Department: Technology, then the query includes all employees in Sales and Technology 
• If multiple attributes across demographics are added, i.e. Department: Sales and Location: Boston, then the query includes employees in both Sales and Boston
• If a mix of demographics is added, i.e. Department: Sales, Department: Technology, and Location: Boston, then the query includes employees in Sales or Technology, and Boston

As you configure the administrative scope of the Focused Admin, you will see the number of users who fall under the current scope, both active and inactive. Click on the [x] Users to view a list of the users and export the user list.

Limit by User's Downline

Select Limit by User's Downline to define the administrative scope by the downline of the specified user(s).

A Focused Admin's administrative scope can be defined by the downline of any user, even the downline of the Focused Admin. 

Include: Users entered in this field define the users' downline that the Focused Admin will have access to

Users entered in this field define whom the Focused Admin will have access to the specified user(s)' downline. For example, to give a Focused Admin administrative access to the entire organization, except for the CEO, assign the user to the CEO's downline.
