Types of Administrators in Dawn
There are two types of administrators in Dawn:
- Root/Site Administrators have access to and control over every aspect of a Dawn Learning Site. These permissions are automatically given to the user who created the site. In Site Management, Root/Site Administrators can brand the site and make changes to the account. Only Root/Site Administrators can create the purchase orders for organizational use once contracts are signed outside of the Dawn system.
