FileAdmin accounts allow selected people in the offices of a single MOVEit Transfer Organization to work with ALL files received from multiple Users and multiple anonymous web form submissions. Because of its relative power, FileAdmin is an optional access level designed as a convenience for small organizations who want to give a small number of individuals access to any file that passes through their organization. Larger organizations will find it useful to divide sections of file authority by assigning privileges to user groups. One exception to this rule are accounts set up to allow MOVEit Automation to connect —MOVEit Automation accounts are commonly FileAdmin accounts.

Tip: Use a FileAdmin account to connect MOVEit Automation to MOVEit Transfer.

File Rights: A FileAdmin can view, edit, move, delete and download files from any folder in their Organization, create new folders, delete folders, upload files from their local computer into the MOVEit Transfer system.

Administrative Rights: A FileAdmin can track any files in his or her Organization including all files uploaded by the Organization's Users. FileAdmins can see when changes were made to their own account details, and change their own password, contact information, or email address

Examples:

  • Erik is a corporate accounts specialist with Woodstock First Bank. Erik wants to pick the payroll files from Argyle Industries and several other customers off the MOVEit Transfer system. Erik should not have the power to change the corporate color scheme or add new users. Erik is an ideal candidate for a FileAdmin account.
  • A corporation wants to set up MOVEit Automation inside their private network to automatically download and process files received from various customers. IT staff would like MOVEit Automation to browse and pull files from any folder on the MOVEit Transfer system. MOVEit Automation will most likely require a FileAdmin account.
