🛡️What is a Platform Admin?

A Platform Admin is a Ziik user with access to the Admin Panel, giving them control over your Ziik environment, including:

  • Activating or deactivating Product Modules

  • The visual Branding of your platform

  • Global settings (e.g., Default language)

  • Configuring Roles, Integrations, and Billing

For a full guide to the admin panel and how to add other platform admins - check out 👉 (Link). For now, let's focus on modules and branding:

📦 Product Modules: select your Ziik tools

  • Ziik is modular, meaning you can choose which tools your organisation needs, and which ones to disable.
  • Modules appear in the interface only when activated
  • Each module unlocks specific role permissions such as "Can create Groups", or "Can view statistics"

The modules offer solutions for:

Communication
News, Chat, Groups, and Events

Information
Handbooks, Files, Shortcuts, and FAQs 

Operations
Checklists, Personal Documents, Schedule

Security
Two-factor Authentication

Statistics
Activity and usage statistics

💡Tip: You can always activate more modules at a later stage - begin by activating the tools that are most useful to your organisation

⚙️ How to activate & deactivate modules

Permission required: Only Platform Admins can access the branding settings

  1. From Ziik's web application, click the cogwheel icon in the top-right corner

  2. Select Modules

  3. Turn modules on/off

  • Turning on adds the module to the platform interface instantly

  • Turning off hides the module from the interface, but preserves all existing data in it
