-There are instances where systems administrators may be denied access to certain documents in the repository - management level documents containing classified information, for example. +Administrator mode is a system state that allows KnowledgeTree administrative users to override the permissions system, in an audited fashion, in order to access all documents in the system. With administrator mode enabled, Unit administrators will only be provided access to all documents in their Unit.
+-However, because problems with these documents in the repository will also need to be fixed, administrators must be granted a way of overriding the controls in an audited manner that protects this information. -
-Enabling Administrator mode allows system and unit administrators to view and manage all documents in the system, including those documents where they are normally denied access. +Administrator mode provides an audited method of fixing errors on documents or in folders where even administrative users are usually denied access, such as content containing classified information. +
++Note: Administrators are not able to delete immutable documents using the 'Delete' button in Browse Documents, even if they're working in Administrator mode. To delete an immutable document, use the 'Delete' action from the immutable document's Document Detail page. This ensures that immutable documents are only deleted one at a time, and avoids the mistaken deletion of an immutable document in a mass action delete. +
