CONTENT SERVER
ADMINISTRATOR GUIDE
About Adding Users
If
Local authentication
is selected in
Site Settings
, local users
can log in to the Content Server.
Firstly, you need to ensure that local user accounts have been
created on the Content Server. You can create local user
accounts from the Windows Server administration site in the
Administrator Settings
menu.
These users then need to be added to the Content Server
database by entering their usernames on the
Add Users
page.
Please note that adding local groups is not supported.
Local usernames must be entered in this format:
MACHINENAME\user.name:Display Name(optional)
Adding Users Under Local Authentication
All users with valid accounts on the Domain or LDAP server will
be added automatically upon login if:
Domain
•
or
LDAP authentication
is selected in
Site Settings
and
Allow Guest Access
•
is deselected in
Site Settings
.
Users added automatically will only have privileges to view
conferences they are authorized to view (their user role will
be
User
). Administrators can give users special privileges by
changing their role to
Owner
or
Administrator
).
Groups always need to be added manually through the
Add
Users
page.
LDAP/Active Directory groups must be entered in this format:
@group.name
Please note that although a group is added in this format,
@group.name
, both the group name and its base DN are
displayed in the
Users
page.
When adding a group, all members of that group will be
automatically added to the Content Server on login with
the privileges you assigned to the group, if
Domain
or
LDAP
authentication
is selected in
Site Settings
, and regardless of
whether or not
Allow Guest Access
is selected in
Site Settings
.
If you add a group with
Owner
privileges, as members of that
group log in to the Content Server, their accounts will be
automatically created. The
User Role
next to their user name in
the
Users
page will appear to be
User
, but they will have
Owner
privileges inherited from their group membership.
If you want all members of the group to be
Users
or
Owners
,
but some members of the group need administrative privileges,
you can change the
User Role
for these members to
Admin
. The
highest user role will be applied.
Adding Groups
LDAP/Active Directory users need to be added manually through
the
Add Users
page before they can log in if:
Domain
•
or
LDAP authentication
is selected in
Site Settings
,
and
Allow Guest Access
•
is selected in
Site Settings
.
Adding users under Domain authentication:
Users must be entered in this format: DOMAINNAME\user.
•
name or DOMAINNAME\user.name:Display name
Adding users under LDAP authentication:
Users must be entered in this format: user.name or user.
•
name:Display name
Adding Users or Groups Under Domain or LDAP
Authentication
When
Domain
or
LDAP
authentication
is selected in
Site
Settings,
LDAP/Active Directory users or groups can log in to the
Content Server.
Active Directory users can be added to the Content Server
manually or automatically.
Groups need to be added manually. Any users in those groups
will then be able to log in without having to be added individually.
The user will inherit group privileges from the group they belong
to.
