User Management for Non-Admins

The creation and management of users in Cora PPM has previously required full administration permissions. Many organisations want to devolve day-to-day user administration to line managers but do not want to give those line managers access to the full set of Cora PPM Administration features.  Cora PPM includes the option to give a non-administrator the ability to manage the settings of a sub-set of users.

Allow Non-Administrators to Manage Users

This feature is enabled for a user under (Administration | Resources | Users | Edit User) where there is a new checkbox for ‘User Administrator’.  

Once a user has this permission, under the settings tab, you can use the Available Group(s) for User Administrator to set the group(s) of users that can be administered. 

Once a user is set as a User Administrator, they will have access to manage their allotted users via the Management menu in the top navigation bar:

Selecting User Management will display a list of users in the groups that the user has access to.  From this list they can click the user’s name to view and edit their details.

Note: Not all administration level user settings are available.  A User Administrator cannot make another user an Administrator nor can they add users to their group.
