Administrative modules are similar to common modules in how they are created and configured through the tab designer but these modules typically function outside the realm of the normal permissions hierarchy.

For more information on the roles referenced in this section please see the role based security topic. Administrative users can configure additional module settings by clicking the button.

Administrative modules can typically be placed on tabs only by users with membership in Site Administrators, Security Administrators, or Dashboard Management site-level roles with no regard to permissions assigned to the tab on which the module is placed. Additionally, these modules are often restricted to use by accounts in those same roles. In many cases these modules can be used by all accounts but advanced functionality and module configuration is almost always restricted to administrative roles.
