==Intended audience==<br />
The PGV Administrator manages users who can have different roles (or privileges): <br />
<br />
*'''Site Administrator''' who can do and see anything on the site and can create new users.<br />
*'''Gedcom Administrator''' who can administer Gedcom configuration and privacy and accept changes.<br />
*'''Acceptor''' who has edit privileges, and who can also accept or undo changes made by others.<br />
------<br />
*'''Editor''' who can edit anything he or she can see. The changes he or she made need to be accepted by a user with higher access privileges. <br />
*'''User''' (authenticated user) has access to the MyGedView portal and can view all public data and those private data that are allowed by privacy settings. <br />
*'''Public visitor''' is a visitor that has not authenticated by entering a username and password. Default privacy settings do not give the public visitor an access to the data of living people. Public visitor cannot edit data. <br />
<br />
The division between topics covered in [[Administrators Guide]] and '''[[Users Guide]]''' runs more or less in the middle of this list: information in this guide is geared for the Site and Gedcom Administrators and also Acceptors, while the [[Users Guide]] covers topics for Ediors and Users, (and also Visitors), with some Acceptor topics as well. Sections below outline responsibilities of the Administrators.<br />
