can I have mroe than one Username and Password for the admin tool?

I would like there to be more than one admin. Instead of sharing the username and password with everyone who manages the site, I just want everyone to have their own username and password. Can I have more than one account? How do I set them?

Thanks,
BP

Use Kuroi's Admin Profiles add-on http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?main_page=product_contrib_info&cPath=40_41&products_id=86

You can limit users to certain parts of the admin. Make sure you have one admin user with access to all functions.

I use it on the Holzheimer site in my sig. I have access to all admin functions. The site owner has limited access so she can print invoices and check/fill orders.

Before you go doing that, you need to FIRST use the Admin->Tools->Admin Settings page just to create your admin users.

True. It's been a very long time since I set that up. :blush:

As I remember, it's pretty easy to install and set up.
