  • A Document Administrator is someone who has administrative access to documents in their area. This means that they are able to manipulate documents in ways that others in the area cannot.
  • An advantage of designating someone as a Document Administrator is that they have the ability to make minor adjustments to documents in their area which eliminates delays and gives users more power over their area's documents.
