Using the Admin Panel

If the community member is listed as an Admin user in the Community Portal XML file or is given group user security permission for CommunityPortalAdminPanel, then the Admin Panel is displayed above the Synergetic banner when they log in to the Community Portal.

Tip: Admin user logins are separated by commas between the <AdminUserNames></AdminUserNames> tags in the XML configuration file. See Editing the SynCommPortal.xml configuration file.

Tip: You can also access the Admin Panel if you have been assigned the CommunityPortalAdminPanel security resource in Group/User Security Maintenance. See Group Security Maintenance - Groups View in the Synergetic System maintenance manual.
