Local Administrators
Posted on February 20, 2013 by Servant | Reflections
Everyone wants to be an Administrator for the Web Site. They know that the Administrator has more clout than regular users. And maybe they have a need to do something that steps just over the boundaries you have carefully set out for all users. That doesn’t mean that they are trying to cheat anyone; just that they have a need to do something irregular.
One way to handle this is to establish a role of Local Administrator. This allows individuals to act as administrators, but they don’t have the keys to every door in the system. Just give them access to handle the irregular stuff that comes up, and they’ll be happy.
