Novell iFolder enables you to create multi-level administrators to manage your iFolder system. Using this feature you can create primary as well as secondary administrators. A primary administrator is also known as the iFolder admin user unless stated otherwise. The sections given below describe the iFolder admin user or the primary administrator and the secondary administrator.
The iFolder Admin user is the primary administrator of the iFolder enterprise server. Whenever iFolders are orphaned, the ownership of the orphaned iFolders is transferred to the iFolder Admin user. The iFolder admin user can then reassign the orphaned iFolders to another user or delete the iFolders.
The iFolder Admin user must be provisioned to enable the iFolder Admin to perform management tasks. iFolder tracks this user by the LDAP object GUID, allowing it to belong to any LDAP context in the tree, even those that are not identified as search contexts. The user’s movement can be tracked anywhere in the tree because it is known by the GUID, not the user DN.
The iFolder Admin right can be assigned to other users so that they can also manage iFolder services for the selected server. Use the System tab of the Web Admin console to add or remove the iFolder Admin right for users. Only users who are in one of the contexts specified in the LDAP Search DN are eligible to be equivalent to the iFolder Admin user.
IMPORTANT:You cannot assign the Admin user right to an LDAPGroup
If you assign the iFolder Admin right to other users, those users are governed by the iFolder user list and Search DN relationship. The user is removed from the user list and stripped of the iFolder Admin right if you delete the user, remove the user’s context from the list of Search DNs, or move the user to a context that is not in the Search DNs.
The System page displays the following iFolder Admin details for the iFolder domain.

IMPORTANT:You cannot delete the Admin user configured during simias server set-up.
If you delete the iFolder Admin right from the username you used to log in to the server, you are immediately disconnected. You must log in to the iFolder server under a different username with the iFolder Admin right to continue managing the server.

NOTE:Multiple groups can be managed by a single secondary administrator and a single group can be managed by multiple secondary administrators.
The secondary administrator can manage the group members based on the policy rights that are assigned to the secondary administrator. These policy rights are set by the primary administrator. The policy rights govern the policies that the secondary administrator can set for the group members. For instance, if the
policy is enabled for a secondary administrator, this means that the secondary administrator can set the policy for the group members.To create a secondary administrator, follow the steps given below:
