Tiered Administrators

Tiered administrators can perform some of the maintenance duties typically handled by system administrators.

Tiered administrators are individuals who have limited access to the Web Console and restricted permissions to for add, edit, and delete data in it. Tiered administrators are often Vocera device or Vocera Vina app users with lesser technical background than system administrators. Tiered administrators have permission to perform some of the maintenance duties typically handled by system administrators. You can designate some group members as tiered administrators and grant them Tiered Administrator Permissions to manage the system. Tiered administrators can have memberships in one or more groups.

Like all Vocera permissions, tiered administration permissions are cumulative—that is, you can assign multiple permissions to the same group and users can accumulate multiple permissions by membership in multiple groups.

You can set up multiple groups of tiered administrators, creating tiers of access capabilities to further distribute maintenance. For example, you can assign one group the View Users and Groups permission, assign another group both the View Users and Groups and the Add/Edit/Delete Users permissions, and assign a third group all the tiered administration permissions.

Tiered administrators log in to the Web Console with their login credentials. Depending on their permissions, these administrators can see different sections of the Web Console , and they may not be able to modify all that they can see.
