Haven't done this before, so now have an unexpected problem. My only choice other than admin seems to be: "Regular - User can only access records they have created."
After setting up this account, obviously my client can't update all those sections we want them to be able to maintain.
Omigosh!! What to do? We're delivering TOMORROW. Good grief. Nothing like waiting til the last minute.
Thank you so very much.

Exactly what access do you want the user to have?
It's safe to give the user "Admin" access to a section (or all sections). It just means they can edit any record within that section.
The options that allows access to the Admin menu itself looks like this:
[ ] Allow access to Admin menus (including this section)
I realize they have similar names. Hopefully that's the only problem. Let me know how we can best help!

Does the "admin" designation mean they can update fields that were set up within a section to be changed only by admin? For instance, I had a lot of fun with CMS Builder and used a couple of places to include iframes, called by variable for that page. Works like a charm, but did designate admin only for that field change since if they mess with it, it'll break their beautiful slide shows.
Not sure that made sense, but does it?
:)
It's not a deal killer, like not being able to update, but would be good to know.
Thanks so much again.

We've had a few requests to expand that to allow you to specify users or groups to edit certain fields instead of just "Admin Only" and that's on the future feature list.

I think I understand now. Will go test the field admin access question for myself. Shouldn't have bothered you with that one without trying it first.
Thanks!

It'll be great to have an additional level of access to address that. Will look forward to it. In the meantime have added cautions to the Field/Record Name.
Thanks a million for you help...and such a quick response. There's just not enough praise for your high level of support.
Thanks again.
