define an admin

[rwahdan]

i am confused here about some thing in alfresco…

1. how to create an admin other than the default? so that i can see the admin console?

2. when add a user in the manage user space action i found that for example "user" with "all" and when i add aanother user i dont see this option "all" so i have to add all five permissions!!! where is "all" ?

No need to create the Admin.It is defaultly there while installing.
If u create the user for the home space the user has all the five permissions(defaultly set as All).so no need to give permission again

i dont think you got my questions. i need to create a second admin for the first question and fo the second question, if i need to assign users to any space i will have to choose 5 permissions without having the option "all" in the list for time matter.

Thanks.

  Ok fine.Create a user and give Permission (ie,Coordinator using Manage Space Users) from the Admin .Now the User will act as a another Admin.

How do I create a second admin user (in addition to the default "admin" user) using the web client in Alfresco 2.1?

I found out by myself: change alfresco.war/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/authority-services-context.xml:

<property name="adminUsers">
            <set>
             <value>admin</value>
             <value>administrator</value>

             <value>yourAdmin</value>
           </set>
        </property>

Hello

Does this mean that there is no way to create another administrator (user with access to administration console) using Alfresco/Share UI?

Thanks

Hi there,

If you want to create a second Alfresco Administrator account, just create the account and add it to the 'ALFRESCO_ADMINISTRATORS' security group.  You can use Explorer's Group Management administration page to do this.
