DNS Manager allows multiple accounts with administrative rights. This page explains how to create and manage administrator accounts.

Overview

To manage Administrator accounts, go to the Settings page and click the  Administrator accounts icon under Options.

In the Administrator accounts management page, you can add new accounts, view a list of existing accounts, search and delete a specific account.

The Administrator accounts list displays the following details:

• Administrator name: The name of the person who owns the account with administrative rights;
• Company name: The name of the administrator's company;
• Created: The date when the Administrator account was created on the system.

With a click on the links in the table header, you can sort the information by administrator name, company, or creation date.

If you're looking for a specific administrator account, use the search box box and the two additional links:

• Search: By clicking this link, all the administrator names matching the text filled in the text box will be displayed.
• Show all: After the administrators' list was filtered, you may click this link to discard the filter and display all the administrator accounts.
