Staff account administrators(admins) are individuals in your organization that have been designated with a special role within 1CONNECT to be able to view and manage staff user accounts and permissions within 1CONNECT. Admins can perform any action for any building in your community from the 1CONNECT Portal.

Admins can only be added by the 1VALET team for security reasons. Please contact us if you need an admin account created or removed

Admins are labeled with a star in the staff accounts section of the portal (which you may or may not have the permissions to view-see table below).

If you need to contact your admin, but do not know their contact information, please check within your organization first before contacting 1VALET

What are the differences between an admin and user with the "Full access" or other permission group assigned?

Admins are one level above those with just the "Full access" permission group assigned, but still have "full access" as their permission for every building in the organization. Users that are not admins may have "full access" permission group assigned for a subset of buildings for example, but admins have it for all buildings that are in 1CONNECT now and may be added in the future. A summary of the differences between these types of user permissions are listed below:
