System Manager

Each Laserfiche Server has a system manager role that determines if a user will be allowed to perform certain high-level administrative functions on the Laserfiche Server. System manager accounts prevent unauthorized users from performing actions or configuring options that should not be performed by most Laserfiche users. These functions include activities that occur when a user is not logged into a repository: Laserfiche Server registration, repository creation, registration, and unregistration, named user management, management of Laserfiche Server properties and settings, and connection management.

Important: If you are on the System Manager list, but cannot perform a System Manager task in the Web Administration Console, you may need to provide your Windows credentials in order to log in as a System Manager. See System Manager Login for more information. .

Windows users who have been granted the System Manager role can perform various System Manager actions. See System Manager Session for information about adding users to the System Manager list.

In the desktop Laserfiche Administration Console, your system manager credentials will automatically be checked when you select the Laserfiche Server. In the Laserfiche Web Administration Console, you will need to manually provide your Windows credentials to gain access to System Manager actions. See System Manager Login for more information.
