To what extent you are allowed to configure access permissions for other ad-
ministrators, depends on your seniority level. This is measured by a value
between 0 and 100. You can only configure permissions for administrators
with seniority levels lower than your own.
On the other hand, you may find your right to access Webwasher restricted or
denied when trying to log in because an administrator with an equal or higher
seniority level is currently logged in and has configured the corresponding set-
tings.
So, if your seniority level is e. g. 80 and you have configured read-only access
for other administrators while you are logged in, this will apply to all adminis-
trators with a seniority level of 80 or below.
If an administrator with a level of e. g. 60 logs in, a window will open providing
access in read-only mode. At the same time, the number of sessions is dis-
played that are currently active, as well as the number of sessions where the
seniority level is equal to or higher than that of the administrator who is trying
to log in.
Furthermore, the number of sessions is displayed where this administrator is
allowed to modify access permissions. In this case, there are no such sessions
because someone with an equal or higher seniority level, i. e. you, has already
configured the corresponding settings in a particular way.
This administrator now has the choice of logging in with read-only access or
not.
On the other hand, if an administrator with a seniority level of e. g. 100 logs in,
this administrator is entitled to modify what you configured since your senior-
ity level is only 80. This modification will also apply to sessions where other
administrators are already logged in.
The seniority level is configured on the
Role Definition

agement > Administrators
