Users with administrative rights administrator permissions can edit settings on your sites and/or in the Refined Administration. There are three types of Administrators: 

  • A user who is a Confluence/Jira 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 of your support site.

...

A HR team member can be added as a Site Administrator of your intranet.

...

different types of administrators, each with their own set of permissions:

By default, your organization's Confluence/Jira Service Management (JSM) administrators can manage all sites and settings in your Refined instance.

By default, all your organisation’s Confluence/Jira Administrators have administrator rights in Refined. You can also assign Refined Administrator roles to any other Confluence/Jira user in your organisation, giving them the same administrator rights.

A Site Administrator can edit settings related to a specific Refined Site, including:

  • Site Builder, Configuration, Permissions, Audience Features and Site Switcher.

  • Layouts of spaces and projects that the user is allowed to view.

Confluence Administrators, Jira Administrators and Refined Administrators can give others in their organisation Site Administrator rights:

  3. Click the Permissions tab > Add site administrator, or hover a user’s avatar and click the cross to remove them.

Note

If you suspend or remove a user in Atlassian, they’ll also lose the administrator rights they had in the Refined Sites app. It may take up to 12 minutes for these changes to take effect. During this time, the user can still make changes in the Refined Sites app if they have an active session where they’re logged in.

These users will still be displayed as administrators in Refined, even though they won’t have access anymore. You’ll need to manually remove the users.

Site administrator permissions

Site administrators can manage a specific Refined site. This includes editing the site settings, as well as landing pages of spaces and projects that they are allowed to view. Even if these pages contain sections that the site administrator can’t view on the Refined site due to the section’s view permissions, they are still able to view and edit them.

Site administrator permissions can be especially helpful when you work with teams that all have different specializations. For example:

  • A colleague from the Customer Success team can help you out with building your support site.

  • You can get an HR team member to join you in managing the intranet.

Add or remove site administrators

Users with Refined administrator permissions can give site administrator permissions to others in their organization:

  1. Go to the site settings.

  2. Click the Permissions tab.

  3. In the Site administrators section, click the + Add site administrator button to add an administrator.
    Hover a user and click the cross to remove their administrator rights.
