After the s-admin has completed the initial setup of the platform, according to the customer's specifications, and linked it with the desired internet domain, he/she turns the platform over to the platform administrator.

At this point, no one can create content on the platform, not even the p-admin, because no permissions have been assigned yet. Users can only register themselves and change their settings.

In this initial phase, the p-admin has to:

• create groups
  
  
• assign users to groups
  
  
• assign permissions to groups
  
  
• structure the content of the platform
  
  
• create a start page
  
  
• adapt e-mail templates

If desired, factline can support you in the beginning as a p-admin. factline can take over the tasks of the platform administrator in the beginning. In addition, we offer advice on how to organise a platform.


As soon as the initial phase has been completed, users can create and view content, get into contact with other users (ping, chat…)  - provided they have been granted permission to do so.


As concerns the maintenance of the platform, the p-admin has to:

• manage users and user groups


• analyze statistics
  
• adapt the start page, if necessary
