Administrators

You can control administrator access to your server using rcman as well as the Web interface. The commands for administrator account management are named in a similar fashion to those for package, channel, and group management. They are:

Command Description

admin-add (aa)

Add an administrator. The arguments for this command are the email address, password, and real name of the administrator. This administrator has no permissions yet: you must grant them later by adding the account to various objects.

admin-del (ad)

Delete an administrator account. Takes a single argument: the email address of the administrator.

admin-list (al)

Lists all administrators in your organization.

admin-listacts (alv)

Lists the activations available to your administrator account. Use the --admin= flag to specify an administrator other than yourself. For other information, use the commands admin-listchannels (alc), admin-listgroups (alg), and so forth.

admin-addadmin (aaa)

Use this command, along with act-addadmin(vaa), channel-addadmin(caa) and group-addadmin(gaa), to edit permissions for an administrator account. The argument order here is particularly important: in the following example, the administrator "admin1" is granted permission to modify the account "admin2": rcman aaa admin1 admin2 modify

adminupdate (au)

Update the information provided at account creation: name, email address, and so forth.
