Do I have to create a new profile for a new administrator?

The simple answer to this question is no. Each profile should only appear once in the Organization. This keeps the administration clear and without confusion. When an existing profile, e.g. a member, is assigned a role, they do not need a new profile.

But how does it work?

Roles manage the rights for access. You can create multiple roles with different access rights. One role could be that of webmaster, of which occupants have access to the website. Another role could be that of member administration, of which occupants have access to the Organization. Often, there is also a general administrator who has access to all applications.

A role can be assigned to a profile in profile tab 'Access'. For example, a member that keeps the member administration gets the role of member administrator.

Assign roles

To assign a role to a profile, you need to go to the tab ‘Access’, which you can find in each profile in the Organization. In the tab, click ‘Manage roles’. You will then see a list of existing roles. Check the box of the role you want to add to the profile. Then click on ‘Save’ to confirm. From that moment on, the profile has the rights of the role.

This is how you give a role to an object without having to create a new profile.
