Info

In version 7.0 we rebuilt the Refined Administration and where it was previously only Confluence Administrators that could access the Refined Administration, you can now delegate admin permissions to other users. 

Refined administrators

A Refined Administrator is a user that can access and edit all Refined Administrator settings. This includes:

...

configure Refined

...

creating and managing Refined Sites

...

creating and managing Themes

...

Users with administrative rights can edit settings in the Refined Administration. There are three types of Administrators: 

  • A user who is a Confluence Administrator can edit all Refined settings. 

  • A user who is manually added as Refined Administrator can edit all Refined settings. 

  • A user who is manually added as Site Administrator can edit site-specific settings.

It can be beneficial to delegate administrator permissions to colleagues, for example when you work with teams who all have different specialisations:

  • A support team member can be added as a Site Administrator to take care of your support site

  • A development team member can be added as a Site Administrator to add helpful content on your intranet.

  • A designer can be added as Refined Administrator to help out with the look and feel of several sites.

Confluence Administrators and Refined Administrators

By default, all your organisation’s Confluence Administrators have administrator rights in Refined. Since version 7.0 you can also assign Refined Administrator roles to any other Confluence user in your organisation, giving them the same administrator rights. This way, all your colleagues can contribute to your Refined sites.

Confluence Administrators and Refined Administrators can edit all Refined settings, including:

  • Configuring Refined.

  • Creating and managing Refined Sites.

  • Creating and managing Themes.

  • Adding other users as Refined or Site Administrators.

  • editing Editing all layouts

  • and more - everything that is a Refined Administration setting.
