Introduction

In uKnowva HRMS, there may be situations where an existing user needs to be granted administrative rights, whether due to a role change, promotion, or added responsibilities.

Admin privileges allow users to access system-wide configuration settings, manage user data, and perform high-level actions within the platform.

The system offers multiple ways to assign admin rights to existing users, providing flexibility based on your preferred method of access.

This guide explains both approaches in detail so you can choose the most convenient path to elevate a user to admin status.

Step 1: Editing an Existing User via the uKnowva Configuration Panel

Start by logging into your uKnowva HRMS instance with admin-level access.

Navigate to the top-right corner of your screen and click on your profile name or icon. From the drop-down menu, select “uKnowva Configuration.”

This will take you to the backend configuration environment, where administrative functions are performed.

In the left-hand menu, click on “User Manager” to access the list of all users.

Now, locate the user you wish to promote. Hover your cursor over their name, and a pen icon will appear—click on it to edit their profile. This opens a form with editable user information.

Scroll to the “Role” field and choose “Admin” from the drop-down menu.

After verifying the details, click “Save” to confirm and apply the admin role to the selected user.

Step 2: Making a User Admin Through the Global Search

Alternatively, you can use the global search functionality if you prefer a quicker route.

Head to the top of your uKnowva HRMS interface and type the user’s name into the search bar.

Once the correct profile appears in the search results, click on it to open the full profile page.

On the user’s profile, locate the “Edit User” option situated above the profile picture.

Clicking this opens a pop-up window where user details can be modified. In this pop-up, go to the “Role” field and select “Admin” from the drop-down menu.

Once updated, click the “Submit” button to successfully assign admin rights to the user.

Conclusion

That’s it!

You’ve now successfully made an existing user an admin in uKnowva HRMS.

By following this process, you ensure that the user has the necessary administrative privileges to manage system settings, oversee user permissions, and perform high-level tasks within the HRMS.

This functionality supports flexible role transitions and empowers the right users with the control they need.
