Locations admin permissions

Locations module permissions are set in two steps: granting Composer access to an admin group in the Admin Users module, then assigning permissions within the Locations module itself. Most organizations only need the Administrators group to have full Locations access.

💡Quick answers

  • What must be done before granting Locations permissions? Enable the Composer checkbox for the admin group in the Admin Users module; Locations permissions cannot be assigned without Composer access.
  • Where are Locations module permissions configured? In the Locations module itself (module menu > Locations > Permissions tab); use the dropdown to assign Admin or View access per admin group.
  • Which admin group typically needs Locations Admin access? Primarily the main Administrators group; most other groups only need access to specific domains via their location assignment, not the full Locations module.

Step 1: Grant Composer access to an Admin User Group

First, click on the People icon in your left navigation and open up the Admin Users module. Select the Admin Users group in the top left corner whose permissions you would like to adjust. Check the box next to Composer under Site Manager Rights.
