About Administrative Roles

Scalix provides four distinct administrative roles that permit varying levels of access to manage the system's servers and users:

The top-level root system administrator (the “sxadmin” user)
Full administrators
A member of any of the four Scalix Admin groups
Group managers

Each of these comes with specific access rights and permissions:

"sxadmin" user	Has complete access via the CLI and the Management Console to manage every aspect of a Scalix system.
Scalix Admin	Has full Management Console access but limited CLI access, and a smaller scope in duties. Also known as a "Full Administrator."
Scalix Admin Groups	Have varying levels of Management Console access to undertake specific (and limited) tasks.
Group Manager	A member of a public distribution list or group who has Management Console access solely to add or delete users from a group to which they belong.

If you are the top-level system administrator (“sxadmin”), you can use the Management Console to grant others the role of “Full Administrator” or one of four “ScalixAdmin” group roles.

“ScalixAdmin” - Have varying levels of administration permissions. Depending on their group membership, a user can log in to the Management Console, but see only those high-level categories (and features) they are permitted to use.
“Group Manager” - Can add or remove users from a single mail group (or PDL). Must be a member of the group.
