Org admin

Under Silo Security, users are grouped under organizations, which typically align with real-world organizations. To ensure that organizational goals are met, we have the Org Admin Role. These are Wildbook users who handle user management and bulk import concerns for their organization.

How to apply for the Org Admin Role

To get the Org Admin Role, contact either a site admin or an org admin of the organization you want to help administer.

Managing Users

Adding Users

As an Org Admin, you are able to create and add users to your organization. Here’s what you need to know to create a new user:

1. Go to Administer, then User Management.

2. Look for the Create/Edit User section.

3. Enter a username, email, and password.

4. Select the appropriate role based on the permission level you want the user to have. This is multi-select as the roles are not hierarchical.

   • researcher - Users that can manage and export their own data, create projects, manage their collaborations, and confirm matches. Most users only need this role.

   • orgAdmin - Users that can create/edit users for their organization, and manage and export data for any user in their organization. Requires the researcher role.

   • Admin - Users that can manage all user data for the Wildbook they belong to. Requires the researcher and orgAdmin role.

   • location ID name - For Wildbooks with location-based roles; users with a specific location role can view, edit, and export all data for encounters with that location ID.

5. Under Organization Membership, select your organization to add a user to it.

6. Click Save.

Deleting Users

Note: Make sure to remove all roles associated with the user account you want to disable and change their password. We recommend disabling over deleting a user account if their data is trusted.

1. Go to Administer, then User Management.

2. In the filter box, type a username, first or last name, or other identifying information.

3. Select a user from the user grid.

4. Click Delete User beneath the user’s information.
