What is the ‘admin’ permission in Matomo?

Superusers and users with ‘admin’ permissions can create new users and assign the ‘admin’ permission on a given set of websites. Changing a user’s role requires the superuser or admin user to enter their password to confirm the change.

Users with the ‘admin’ permission can:

• Create new users.
• Assign users the ‘view’ or ‘write’ or ‘admin’ permission on the website(s) they have admin permissions for.
• Edit the website settings they have admin permissions for.
• Create, manage and delete entities for the website(s) such as Goals, Funnels, Forms, A/B Tests, Heatmaps, Session Recordings.
• Delete visits using the GDPR privacy tools, Invalidate reports, etc.

Users with ‘admin’ permission cannot add other websites and they cannot manage plugins or other global settings.
