Host Administration

hostadminbanner

The host user has the highest possible level of permissions in a iLabbook instance and can manage any individual site, set defaults for the creation of new sites, and manage additional configurations that support all sites.

An iLabbook site administrator is primarily concerned with the look, feel, functionality, and content of a site. A host is more concerned with the configuration, performance, monitoring, and support of the entire iLabbook instance. As the iLabbook host (or any user with superuser permissions), you need to have a working grasp of all the features and configuration options available to you.

A host logs into a iLabbook site just like any other user, just using the host account that is created when the iLabbook application is first launched.

In addition to the site options discussed in the site administration control panel and admin dashboard, the host account has more options than an administrator account in the admin dashboard, which includes:

  • Event Log - Which contain information on various events that have occurred on the site like errors or anything that has been created, updated, or deleted with more info on event log.
  • Site Management - Which allows for the addition and modififation for all of the different sites you have with more info on site management.
