Site admin

Site admin#

Under Silo Security, users are grouped under organizations, which typically align with real-world organizations. To ensure that organizational goals are met, Wild Me established the Org-Admin Role. These are platform members who will handle user management and address 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 Wild Me. You can manage the following aspects of a platform by using the top navigation and selecting Administer.

Logs#

  • User access logs provide session information that indicates a user’s IP address and sign-in time.

  • Encounter submissions log provides Encounter creation information that indicates the time when Encounters are created to provide a reference to the encounter.

  • Deleted encounters log provides a record of Encounters that were deleted and a reference to restore the Encounter using the Library Management functionality.

  • Email log provides a record of the automated emails sent from the platform including the type of email, who it was sent to, and what time it was sent.
