Documentation for Crowd 1.4. Documentation for other versions of Crowd is available too.

Members of the 'crowd-administrators' group have administration privileges — that is, the ability to:

The 'crowd-administrators' group is automatically created in your 'Default Directory' when you install Crowd (see Running the Setup Wizard). If you need to grant Crowd administration rights to users in other directories, you can create a 'crowd-administrators' group in any or all of your other directories and map the directories to the 'crowd' application.

To grant administration privileges to a user,

  1. Log in to the Crowd Administration Console.
  2. Click the 'Users' tab in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the User Browser. Select the directory which contains the user to whom you wish to grant administration rights.
  4. Locate the user and click the 'View' link that corresponds to the user.
  5. This will display the 'User Details' screen. Click the 'Groups' tab.
  6. A list of the user's current groups (if any) will be displayed. Select the 'crowd-administrators' group from the drop-down box below the list, then click the 'Add' button.



If you wish, you can use a different or additional group to contain your Crowd administrators. To do this, map your chosen group(s) to the 'crowd' application as described in Specifying which Groups can access an Application. Note that CrowdID administrators, however, must always belong to the 'crowd-administrators' groups.
