Additional Admin Users
« on: September 08, 2008, 07:07:31 AM »
I have searched for this but must not be using the right terms.

Can you have additional admin users? I would like to have a few more users that can login to the server-manager.

I am trying to fit SME in to solve some pretty interesting issues (Domain controller and users/groups for a joined 2k3 server running sql and IIS). There will be a few admins, hopefully I can see in logs who does what. Is this possible?

I had the same wish (see bug 2487), still not done with the server manager, but I managed to do so for samba and the domain by creating a group of admins with the description "Domain Administrators", this makes them windows domain admins automatically. Furthermore I created a custom templated fragment with the following contents
Code: [Select]
admin users = @admins.domainWhere admins.domain is the group name you have chosen in the server-manager for this group.
Due to lack of time I have not been able to pursue the server-manager any further.

Install the user manager contrib
Then configure server manager to allow users to have access to specified (or all) panels in user manager, and then the user logs in to
https://yourdomain.com/user-manager

rather than via server manager.

yum install --enablerepo=smecontribs smeserver-userpanel
