User Creation

[cpfuser]

Can i create an alfresco user without log-in with admin credentials but by similuating user creation functionalities without admin access.
If yes, can anyone please tell me how this can be done.

Thanks.

To the best of my knowledge in Labs 3.0, you have to override the Spring bean definition "authorityService".

Here is a snippet of what you'll need to override the definition:

    <bean id="authorityService" class="org.alfresco.repo.security.authority.AuthorityServiceImpl">
        <property name="authenticationComponent">
            <ref bean="authenticationComponent" />
        </property>
        <property name="personService">
            <ref bean="personService" />
        </property>
        <property name="nodeService">
            <ref bean="nodeService" />
        </property>
        <property name="tenantService">
            <ref bean="tenantService"/>
        </property>
        <property name="authorityDAO">
            <ref bean="authorityDAO" />
        </property>
        <property name="permissionServiceSPI">
            <ref bean="permissionServiceImpl" />
        </property>
        <!–                                                                  –>
        <!– A list of users with admin rights.                               –>
        <!–                                                                  –>
        <!– By default this includes:                                        –>
        <!–    admin (the user name of default alfresco admin user)          –>
        <!–    administrator (the windows default admin user)                –>
        <!–                                                                  –>
        <!– This assumes that user names are not case sensitive.             –>
        <!–                                                                  –>
        <property name="adminUsers">
            <set>
                <!–ADMIN IS REQUIRED IN ORDER TO INVOKE VARIOUS SERVICES–>
                <value>admin</value>
                <value>ADDITIONAL_USER_ID</VALUE>
          </set>
        </property>
    </bean>

Unless the authority service in Alfresco 3.2 Community has structurally changed, this should allow other users to have access to the administrator console.
