Title: local user accounts
Post by: stitch on March 08, 2002, 06:42:31 AM

hi,

I have set up an SME v512 server as a domain controller. I would like to have domain users be local admin or power users so they can add printers etc. Can someone please shed some light on this issue for me. Do I have to create local accounts for these users? I've searched high and wide without luck.

thanks in advance for your assistance,
stitch

Please check out the following HOWTO (found in the HOWTO section) from Greg Zartman

This will likely answer most if not all of your questions on this topic.

Dear stitch
Here's another way of achieving it see:
http://www.myezserver.com/docs/mitel/user-manager-howto.html
as the doc says :
"perform designated 'admin' server-manager functions "
I tried it and it works nicely in 5.1.2, you can choose which panels of the server manager you want a user to have access to.

Ray Mitchell
