Can manage user without admin right?

Brayo — Wed, 24 Aug 2022 04:49:43 GMT

Hi, Everyone can I manage users on alfresco communities 7 without admin right

because alfresco has sensitive content and can't protect the content document from the admin user (administrator) to see it.

May I create other users with add, edit, and remove a privilege to manage that users on alfresco communities 7?

Thanks

Not quite clear about your requirement, but looks like you want to have a functionality to add/remove users without admin role.

In this case, you can develop a custom extension where a UI will show option to create user form, update user, edit their groups etc. Upon form submit, a custom webscript can be invoked which will internally run as system user and perform the operations.

Hi, abhinavmishra14

I try logging in as an admin (administrator) user.

admin user able to see any contents (documents object) on all sites. (please tell me if I miss understanding)

So I think that denies assigning the administrator role to people. The problem is how can I manage users in alfresco? because of no managing user privileges.

Thanks
