Admin Access

Use the checkboxes to determine which pages staff member can access. Clicking a main heading (in bold) will select/unselect all in that group. You should be careful when allowing access to certain pages. Ideally, pages such as the settings page, should be visible to the main admin (ID:1) only.
Additional Page Rules (Comma delimit) - If a page isn`t accessible after a checkbox has been checked (or if you create new admin pages), enter the the page param value here, comma delimited.

Any page params set will allow access to staff member.
