4.08 Granting Crowd Administration Rights to a User

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

access the Crowd Administration Console and perform the functions described in the Crowd 1.2 Administration Guide
access the CrowdID 'Administration' menu and perform the functions described in the CrowdID 1.2 Administration Guide.

The 'crowd-administrators' group is automatically created in your 'Default Directory' when you install Crowd (see 3. 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.

To grant administration privileges to a user,

Login to the Crowd Administration Console.
Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
This will display the Principal Browser. Select the directory which contains the principal (i.e. user) to whom you wish to grant administration rights.
Locate the principal , and click the 'View' link that corresponds to the principal.
This will display the 'Principal Details' screen. Click the 'Groups' tab.
A list of the principal'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 3.4 Specifying which Groups can access an Application. Note that CrowdID administrators, however, must always belong to the 'crowd-administrators' groups.
