Assumed, you have installed SugarCRM. Admin - The king, will be proven by the end of the article.
 
This article will concentrate on features available in Community Edition(v6.5.15). Stay tuned for PRO+ features for Admin.

Lets take section by section.
 

User management

As an administrator, you are privileged to create users.

Admin > Users Section > User management > Create Users.

Fill up your user's details. Here the 'User' is your employee and not your client. User can be your staff member or co-admin. Choose correct user type. Admin is someone with most privileges and gets access to all data. So be careful choosing user type.

Role management

Your staff is whom you trust after your customers. Still it is wise to restrict access.

Admin > Users Section > Role management > Create role > give a name of your choice and save.
 
 
You get a list of modules and access type in x-axis. Double click on word 'Not set' and you will get choices.

To hide a module completely for a user, choose Access to be 'Disabled'.
Just to make user see details, choose edit to be 'None'.
To restrict user to Export or Import, choose 'None'.
To allow user to only see/delete records created/owned by himself choose List/Delete 'Owner'.
If you select View 'Owner', and keep List 'Not set', user will be able to see all records in list view, but detail view will be accessible for records owned by him.

Password Management

Password management is crucial to ensure security to your valuable information. These settings make sure User's password are hard enough to guess and hack.

You can enforce password expiration in n-days or after n-logins.
You can enable/disable Forgot Password feature (This shows Forgot Password link in login page)
You can put extra security with Captcha (This makes sure it is human who enters the data)
