# Administrator Management ### Built-in System Administrator By default, the PBX creates a built-in **System Administrator** account with the username **admin**. You can view this account by navigating to **Administrators** in the PBX web portal menu. Select the **admin** account and click **Edit** to configure its **Email Address** and **Display Name**. To change the administrator’s login name or personal profile information, click the **profile picture** in the upper-right corner of the web portal and update the profile settings.
*** ### Administrator Roles Starting with **PortSIP PBX v22.3**, the system supports **multiple System Administrators** and introduces **role-based access control (RBAC)** for administrators. The PBX includes three predefined administrator roles, each designed for different operational responsibilities. #### System Admin The **System Admin** has the **highest level of privilege** in the PBX. * Full access to all system functions and settings * Can manage all administrators, roles, users, tenants, trunks, and system configurations * Can create additional System Administrators > ⚠️ **Best Practice:** Creating multiple System Administrators should be done with caution and limited to trusted personnel only. *** #### Operation Admin The **Operation Admin** has slightly fewer privileges than the System Admin and is intended for day-to-day operational management. * Has full access to most PBX management functions * **Does not** have access to: * System.Settings * System.Users * System.Roles * System.Integrations All other permissions are equivalent to those of the System Admin. *** #### Site Admin The **Site Admin** has fewer privileges than the Operation Admin and is typically used for site-level or delegated administration. The Site Admin has access to the following permissions: * System.Information (View Only) * Analytics (Full Access) * System.Tenants * Trunks (Full Access) * System.Dealers * System.Features This role is suitable for administrators who manage specific tenants or operational areas without full system control. *** #### Viewing Role Permissions You can view the detailed permissions assigned to each administrator role by navigating to the menu: **Advanced > Roles** *** ### Creating New Roles In addition to the predefined roles, you can create **custom administrator roles** to meet your specific operational requirements. To create a new role: 1. Navigate to **Advanced > Roles** 2. Click **Add** 3. Enter a **Role Name** and **Description** 4. Assign at least one permission to the role 5. Click **OK** to create the role
*** ### Creating a New Administrator You can create additional administrators and assign different roles to distribute management responsibilities more effectively. To create a new administrator: 1. Navigate to **Administrators** 2. Click **Add** 3. Enter the **Display Name**, **Username**, **Password**, **Email Address**, and other required information 4. Select an appropriate **Role** for the administrator 5. Click **OK** to complete the creation
After the administrator is successfully created, they can sign in to the PBX web portal and manage the system according to the permissions granted by their assigned role. *** ### Permission List The following section provides a **detailed explanation of each administrator permission**, including access levels and functional scope. #### System.Information * **View Only**\ Allows viewing system status, version information, license details, and basic platform health data.
