You might want to create additional Filr administrators just in case the primary Filr administrator is unable to access his or her account. Creating additional Filr administrators is a safe way to ensure that the right people are able to access the Filr site in an administrative capacity if the need arises.
Only the original (built-in) Filr administrator can add or remove site administrator rights for users and groups.
To minimize the time-consuming indexing of the Filr site, it is most effective to create a group that has administrative rights, then assign users to that group as needed.
Log in to Filr as the Filr administrator.
Launch a web browser.
Specify one of the following URLs, depending on whether you are using a secure SSL connection:
http://filr_hostname:8080 https://filr_hostname:8443
Replace filr_hostname with the host name or fully qualified domain name of the Filr server that you have set up in DNS.
Depending on how you have configured your Filr system, you might not be required to enter the port number in the URL. If you are using NetIQ Access Manager, the Filr login screen is not used.
