The administrator role applies only to a specific corpus (not the entire BTS!). Administrator
can edit or delete all objects in a given corpus, even if no Updater status for specific
objects was assigned to him/her.
Rights
- Can manage and control any user role within a corpus where she or he is assigned. (Not
available at the moment.)
- Can edit all items in a given corpus, regardless of their visibility status.
- Can add or remove database objects within a corpus. Deleted items can be found in the
"Bin" tab, from where they can be deleted permanently.
- Can assign the status of Updater or Reader to other users who have access to a given
corpus.
- The Updater/Reader status is irrelevant for the Admin, since the user role takes
precedence and automatically gives the Admin rights to edit database items.
- Can alter the visibility of individual database objects in the Passport Editor (Main
Tab).
Limitations
- Admin user role applies to particular corpora only.
- Admin cannot edit the passport data or name of an entire corpus if the corpus was
created by someone else. Even if the entire corpus has a visibility status "Public", Admin
user will still have a guest status when selecting the corpus. Admin has rights only for
individual items within the corpus.
- Admin cannot create new corpora within a project.
- Lemma view: can view Lemma entries but not edit them or add new ones.
- Thesaurus view: can view the Thesaurus entries but not edit them or add new ones.
