=====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%%

**General presentation:**
{{table columns="6" cells="Type;Page;none;all;view;owner;admin;admins;;;;;admin;admin;;;;;admin;none;;;;;admin;owner;;;;;clickstats;statsmgt;;;;;clickstats;mclicks;;;;;etc.;etc.;etc.;etc.;etc.;etc."}}

For definitions of **##All, View, None,##** and **##Owner##** see above.
For an **example** of permissions settings for a restricted admin, see bottom of page.

**##Type##**
~This refers to the type of page the page belongs to.  It roughly corresponds to the divisions by "Functions" that are found in the phplist Main Page: [[SystemFunctionsInfo System Functions]], [[ConfigurationFunctionsInfo Configuration Functions]], [[ListAndUserFunctionsInfo Lists and User Functions]], [[AdministratorFunctionsInfo Administrator Functions]], [[MessageFunctionsInfo Message Functions]].

**##Page##**
~This refers to the different pages that belong to each type of page.
