Manage Local Administrators and Operators
-----------------------------------------

This procedures adds administrators for intermediate nodes, and adds or edits local 
administrators or operators. 

.. note:: 
   
   Default local VOSS Automate administrators are created when provider, reseller,
   customer, and site hierarchy nodes are established. 

   An administrator for a particular hierarchy level can create or modify the
   administrators and operators at that hierarchy level and any level below. For example, a 
   Customer XYZ administrator can create other Customer XYZ administrators and site 
   administrators for Customer XYZ.



1. Log in as an administrator.

2. Set the hierarchy path: 

   * To add or edit an administrator or operator at a level below your
     current level, set the hierarchy path at the top of the window.

   * If you have signed in as provider administrator and want to create a
     customer administrator, set the hierarchy path to the customer for
     which you want to create the administrator.

3. Go to (default menu) **User Management > Admins**) to open the **Admins** list.

4. To edit an existing administrator or operatory: 
   
   * Click on the relevant user to open the Users[username) form.
   * Make the changes you require.
   * Save your changes.  

3. To add a new administrator or operator: 

   * Click the plus icon (+) to open the Users/New Record form. 
   * Fill out the field values. Mandatory fields are indicated with an asterisk (*):
