Overview
Archive-It account administrators can assign access levels to their account users. These access levels, initially selected when adding a new user, determine a user's viewing and editing privileges.
Prerequisites

How to select the proper access level
Administrator
Administrators are fully trained to use Archive-It. They control the administrative account information.
Privileges:
- Ability to add, edit, and delete users
- Add account level information such as an institutional description, URL, logo, and private metadata fields
- All other privileges listed below
User
Users are fully trained to use Archive-It, but do not need to be administrators.
Privileges:
- Create collections
- Start and stop crawls
- Save and delete test crawls
- Modify crawl scope
- Add and edit seed or collection settings
- Add and edit metadata
- View reports
- Access archived content
Contributor
Contributors might not be fully trained to use Archive-It and have limited access to account features. Administrators can assign this level to subject specialists who can edit metadata or perform quality assurance (QA) on crawls, and to researchers who can download WARC files for direct access and analysis.
Privileges:
- Add and edit metadata
- View reports
- Access archived content
- Download WARC files
- View but not edit collection and seed settings
How to edit a user's access level
