Adding admin users
Admin users manage INTERDUBS content. There are two different ways to add admin users:
Self Serve
Send a new admin the link to the INTERDUBS admin page like
http://www.interdubs.com/r/example/admin
They can request their own sign-in. On top of the admin page they see there is a link called:
Create a new personal admin sign-in for you
On that page they can enter
email address desired password
After they entered their information, an email will be sent to all root admins of this segment. This email will contain two links:
One to approve and one to decline the request.
Domain validation
To avoid that anybody can request an admin account, you can restrict the email domains that this is possible for. Configure this feature on the manage admin page
Full name required
You can instruct INTERDUBS to only accept requests, when the user entered his/her full name. This setting can be changed by a root-admin in the end of the utilities page.
Creating admin accounts for new users
Under
utilities manage admin users
there is a button called
add admin
You can add admin user accounts. An email to the new admin can be sent. The key difference to the first method is, that the password gets assigned to the new admin user.
Manage admins
A root admin can change admin settings, disable them etc via the
manage admin users
screen in the end of the page. Non root admins will see a list of all root admins of their segment instead.
Password
INTERDUBS does not store the entered password in clear text. Only the user requesting the admin knows the password.
