Unit administration rights are assigned in the Manage Groups section of Users and Groups in DMS Administration. When adding or editing a group, you can define whether or not the users in the group have Unit administrator rights.

What are Units?

The Unit concept in KnowledgeTreeTM is a method of organizing the repository into two or more separate entities where you want to assign administrative rights to one or more users who are responsible for managing content in that section of the repository.

The Unit entities may model the organization's business divisions - e.g. different departments, or offices in different cities or countries.

Each Unit is assigned its own administrative user - the Unit administrator. The Unit administrator only has administrative privileges for their Unit. The system remains centrally administered by a KnowledgeTree system administrator.
