We provide administrators of Archive-It accounts the ability to assign access levels to other users of their accounts. These access levels, first specified when adding a new user, determine the amount of viewing and editing privileges that users have in the web application, and their access to WARC file data for download.
How to select the proper access level
Administrator
Staff members who are trained to use Archive-It. Those with control over the administrative account information.
- Ability to create new users
- Add account level information such as an institutional description, URL, and logo
- All other privileges listed below
User
Staff members who are trained to use Archive-It, but do not need to be administrators.
- Create collections
- Start and stop crawls
- Save and delete test crawls
- Modify crawl scope
- Add/edit seed or collection settings
- Add/edit metadata
- View reports
- Access archived content
Contributor
Users who might not be fully trained in using the Archive-It web application and/or whom you do not wish to grant full access to the account. For instance, partners apply this level to subject specialists who can inform and edit metadata or perform quality assurance (QA) on crawls, and to researchers who can download WARC files for direct access and analysis.
- Add/edit metadata
- View reports
- Access archived content
- Download WARC files
