Partial Admin for Imports

Introduction

This guide explains how to allow a non-admin user to perform global data imports in Easy8 by granting them partial administrative access specifically for import functionality.

Target audience

• Administrator

Prerequisites

• Access to the Administration section
• User account with partial administrative privileges
• URL access to the import interface: /easy_entity_imports

Steps

1. Grant Advanced Import Permission to a User

1. Go to Administration → Users
2. Select the user you want to grant import permissions to
3. Click the Edit button top right
4. Scroll to the Partial administrator (left column) section in the user settings and check it
5. Check the option Advanced Import
6. Save the changes

Note: The user now has permission to perform global data imports, the same as a full administrator.

2. Access the Import Interface

• There is no direct menu link available for users with Advanced Import access
• The user must manually navigate to or bookmark the following URL:
  /easy_entity_imports

This link provides access to the standard import interface where they can create and manage imports.

Results

• The selected user can create, edit, and run data imports across the system
• The user accesses the import tool via direct link instead of the admin menu

Troubleshooting

• User can't see import options: Confirm that the Advanced Import permission is enabled in the user's Partial Administrator settings
• Missing link or access error: Ensure the user navigates directly to /easy_entity_imports and is logged in
