Setting Admin Permissions
Not all admins have equal rights: some can use all the functions in phplist, some can only use a few functions. These rights are called permissions, and they are set by SuperAdmins using the Permissions page.
General Description
Set permissions to view pages in the system: All: admin has access to page without restrictions View: admin can view content of pages, but not change anything. This currently only works for the "user", "users" and "members" pages. None: admin cannot see this page Owner: admin can see this page, but only see the content of the lists they own
