There are two types of users in the system: Site administrator and Account administrator. An administrator is a person who can login and perform tasks in your Delivra account.
What is a site?
Delivra uses the term Site to describe the way our system groups accounts managed by one entity. Grouping accounts in this way allows those accounts to share common features like email rendering or shared templates, for example. A customer entity/site must have at least one designated user, called a Site administrator. This user can access all parts of the system and access to all features available on your license agreement.
What is a site administrator?
A site administrator has the highest level of permissions, or access, to your Delivra account(s). They can:
- Login to and manage every sub-account on the site, create and manage other administrators, as well as set permissions and roles assigned to other administrators.
- Access advanced reports in the Analytics dashboard like Planned Mailings, Insights, and Custom Reports (depending on license level) which allow them to view all of their scheduled and draft campaigns across all accounts on the site.
- Create Report Groups that span the entire site to create cross-account reporting.
- Save email templates to a shared repository for all sub-accounts. (depends on license and requires a Customer Template Account to be enabled.)
- A site administrator's permissions automatically include API access to manage contacts, categories/tags, mailings, content, and other administrators via API.
- Access new product features when they are released (depending on license) while other users may need their permission set updated before seeing new features.
What is an account administrator?
An account administrator, depending on what Role is assigned to them, will have limited access within the account. Account administrators are typically assigned one of the following system roles, but a Site Administrator can build custom roles for their administrators:
- All Access Pass: Gives access to all dashboards, with the exception to certain permissions.
- Marketer: Gives access to all dashboards except Settings.
- Designer: Gives access to the Assets dashboard only.
- View User: Gives View Only rights to all dashboards except Settings.
- SysAdmin: Gives access to the Settings dashboard only.

Notes on creating administrators
- Upon clicking Save, the new administrator will be sent an email from the system to finish setting up their login. This includes creating a password and configuring multi-factor authentication to secure their login.
- If you use our SMS platform, all administrators must have a mobile number saved to their administrator profile.
- Any administrator that need access to our API must have API permissions enabled on their user profile. Site administrators automatically have API permissions.
