System Administration Permissions

The permissions listed here are those that could be allocated to system administrators.

• SYSTEM_ACCOUNT_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to create, change and delete new companies, groups, roles and users.
• SYSTEM_ACCOUNT_READ – allows read access to account details.
• SYSTEM_ACTIVITY_LOGS_READ – allows access to activity logs.
• SYSTEM_ADMINISTRATE – is the main administrator permission in Forsta Plus. This gives access permission to all users and administrative functionality, and is the permission required when setting up the system.
• SYSTEM_BATCH_ADMINISTRATE – administrate batch server configuration and task type configuration.
• SYSTEM_CAPI_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to generate the CAPI Activation files (see CAPI user guide for more information).
• SYSTEM_CATI_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to view all surveys for the user's company in the CATI supervisor, independent of the presence/absence of the 'Supervise CATI project' survey level setting (see the CATI Supervisor guide for more information). It also gives administration access to all privileged areas for company configuration in CATI and call objects.
• SYSTEM_CATI_SUPERVISOR_ADMIN - provides the same access as the System_CATI_Administrate permission, and in addition, access to the "Database update logs" and "Management" tabs in the "Resources" section, and to the “Specific Parameters” tab in the Resources > Tasks > Task Details section. Here the administrator will also have additional information on the task parameters used during the execution of a task.
• SYSTEM_CLEAR_PRODUCTION_DATA - allows users to use the "Clear Data" functionality to delete responses from the production database.

Note: Users without this permission will get a "Permission denied" message if they attempt to use the functionality. Users with the SYSTEM_DATA_DELETE permission (go to Advanced User Access to Functionality for more information) can use the Clear Data functionality except on the production database. System Administrators automatically have access to clear production data so do not need this permission, and access to clear the test database also does not need this permission.

• SYSTEM_DB_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to database administration, i.e. controlling which db server a project database should be stored in.
• SYSTEM_DB_DESIGNER_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to all forms and Database Designer.
• SYSTEM_DEVELOPMENT_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to a Development menu item that contains settings for debugging old .asp pages. This is typically used by Forsta developers or Forsta On-Premise administrators, for example to extract more detailed feedback on any errors that might arise. This permission can only be set by the System Administrator.
• SYSTEM_ENDUSER_ADMINISTRATE – allows access to all end user lists.
• SYSTEM_FLEX_EXTENSIONS_ADMIN - grants access to the Admin - Flex Extensions pages.

• SYSTEM_QUOTATARGET_EDITOR_ACCESS - can be given to users who do not have full professional access to Authoring. This permission allows for example a supervisor to view and modify quota targets and achieved figures, but not create new quotas for the survey. The Project Management > Quota Targets menu item becomes active.
