====== Administrative Users ======
Administrative Users are the only users who can access the People web application. 

The **Administrative Users** link in the **ADMIN** section manages Administrative users. 

The People web application has four different access levels; **Admin**, **Grad**, **Edit**, and **View**. Access levels correspond to the three sections of the web application. Administrative users may access sections equal to or lower than their own access level.

  * **Admin** users have access to all sections; **ADMIN**, **EDIT**, and **VIEW**.
  * **Grad** users have access to the **EDIT** and **VIEW** sections, as well as a special **[[people:override|Override Gradstudents]]** option in the **EDIT** section.
  * **Edit** users have access to the **EDIT** and **VIEW** sections.
  * **View** users include anyone in the 'staff' mailing list, and have access only to the **VIEW** section.

Clicking the **Administrative Users** link in the **ADMIN** section will show the list of current Administrative Users. The **Add User** link is used to add new users. The **Update Status** button will apply any access level changes, including the **Delete** option which will remove a user from the Administrative Users list.
