Howto add second "admin" to /server-manager/ login?

need it to support

Thanks for help

[Tib]

what does this second admin have to do or what rights do you want them to have.

Maybe this contrib will help you .... smeserver-userpanels.noarch from dungog ... you can give a user certain server-manager panel rights.

Not sure if you have to pay a yearly fee to use that one ... the fee is not much anyway.

Someone might have a different way to do it.

Regards,

Tib

Hello

thanks i setup a micro embedded box for a very small office of
a ecclesial playschool. They should have the admin password only
and need a "support-admin" login for if they have problems with the
box. Then i can login in and help them to setup the users and mailboxes

Thx

[Tib]

In that case smeserver-userpanels.noarch from dungog is just what you need.

It does all that for you and very easy to setup.

You login via
https://yourdomain.com/user-manager

login with the authorised users username and password (ie supporter), NOT the admin one.

If you want to access this from a remote location, then you need to enter the remote host IP in server manager Remote Management panel (this also applies to server manager remote access management)

I think you need to login to /server-manager as admin and setup the /user-manager options (select the modules that the user "supporter" is going to be able to manage)... but I haven't used /user-manager since version 6.01...

mmcarn is correct,
you have to :
-login to /server-manager as admin,
-click 'User Panel Access'
-choose 'Change Access' for user "supporter", then
-tick any panel that you want user "supporter" able to access.
Don't forget to click 'Modify' after.

it's that easy

It would be even better to create a group for your admins so you only once have to define all the privileges. If you decide to have a third admin all you need to do is make this user member of the group, if you do it on a user base you will have to modify and check every users privileges... just my 2 cts.

this is supported already

Thanks Snoble, I know that. I just suggested to OP that it would be easier to maintain his server in the future if he were to assign a group of admins, so in the future he could add users to this group and he did not need to modify all the panel permissions again as they can be distributed to a group as well.

Hello all

i have setup listed below, but the "supporter" account isn't able to login?

if i sign in as Supporter User after two seconds a second login popup like .htaccess blocked.

I don't know why? if set all marks at the user-panel that the supporter is allowed to touch settings,

but i  still don't access into /server-manager/. Sounds like blocked?

(i post here in english cause i work nightshift every day at europe, cause everybody is sleeping here..)

thx Tom

As I said long ago in this thread, you need to access the User Manager using user-manager
eg
https://yourdomain.com/user-manager

Hi All

i got a message that the user-manager have a "bug" on 7.2

that is the event why a second login pops up (the programmer dungog told me to reopen the browser
but this doesn't fix it)

I'm using these rpms on sme7.2 server and they work OK with Firefox (ie I log in once & get the user manager page).

smeserver-userpanel-0.9-10
smeserver-userpanels-1.0-5

Try unistalling them
rpm -e smeserver-userpanel
rpm -e smeserver-userpanels

(switch the order if you get a dependency error)

Then download the rpms again to a clean folder and reinstall
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

[cactus]

Then download the rpms again to a clean folder and resinstall
rpm -Uvh *.rpm

Removing with rpm is probably the best option, but try to use yum for installing instead of rpm.

Normally it's correct & OK to use yum to do the install, but I had specifically suggested using rpm -Uvh to circumvent any possible issues with yum

[linuxhelp]

Hello

thanks for your help all! i reinstall user-panel+user-panels successful with yum
made a reconfigure with server-signal post-upgrade and signal-event reboot

then login to server-manager and set admin+supporter-account to open user-panel access.

after this all works very fine..
