Manage TeamPulse Integration Settings

Sync servers are also on server level and are global for all projects hosted on the server. Therfore only server administrators can add, edit or delete servers available for syncing projects. If a user does not have that permission he will still be able to modify the sync settings for a specific project as these are project level settings.

Managing Server Administrator Role

Server administrator is a role that gives permissions to perform all server level operations (those include all the the above mentioned).

Users with access to the Administration site can check who the server administrators are from the exposed column in the users grid.

Setting server administrator role is done from the create or edit user pages in the Administration site. When creating the first user, he is set to licensed and is granted server administrator rights.

Only licensed users can be granted the permission to be server administrators. Once a user is unlicensed his server administrator rights are removed.

In order to assure that there is always server administrator deleting or unlicensing the last server admin is not allowed.
