Working in Admin Mode allows the user to perform non-standard operations.

 

A user can only operate in Admin Mode if they have been designated an Administrator by an existing administrator.

 

A user starts operating in Admin Mode by either selecting Menu > Admin > Admin Mode or by right-clicking the Cimera icon in the System Tray (bottom right of the screen) and selecting Admin Mode.

 

When a user is operating in Admin Mode then "ADMIN MODE" is displayed next to their userid in the Status Bar on the Cimera Main Workspace

 

It is highly recommended you only operate in Admin Mode if there is a specific task that requires you to do so and to return to normal operating mode immediately once you have finished it. Cimera has security and validation features for the protection of the user and to maintain the integrity of the data; Admin Mode removes some of these protections and should be used by exception.

 

 

Features of operating in Admin Mode include:

 

Promote an item to any State in its Lifecycle regardless of valid transitions.

 

Assign items to (and otherwise reference in items) Users and Groups that have been disabled.
