Overview
The Admin Wizard displays when you log into Sugar for the first time after installation. This wizard guides you through the process of branding, localizing, and configuring email settings in Sugar that will be applicable to all users in your organization. You can skip this step if you prefer to do it at a later time.
Sugar users
A Sugar user can be a System Administrator, or a user with or without module-specific administration or developer privileges.
A System Administrator is a user who has access to all Sugar records and full control over administering and developing the application.
Module administration privileges allow users to have administrator access to records or to have control over the customization and administration of the modules. The System Administrator can grant this type of access to a user to allow the individual to manage a specific module. For more information, see Role Management.
When you log into Sugar as an administrator, the Admin link displays on the top right corner of your page. Click this link to view the Administration page. The Administration page displays sections that group tasks according to the area of administration.
