You might want to create additional Vibe administrators just in case the primary Vibe administrator is unable to access his or her account. Creating additional Vibe administrators is a safe way to ensure that the right people are able to access the Vibe site in an administrative capacity if the need arises.
To minimize the time-consuming indexing of the Vibe site, it is most effective to create a group that has administrative rights, then assign users to that group as needed.
NOTE:Because Vibe users can change the access control settings on individual workspaces where they have sufficient rights, additional Vibe administrators who are granted administrative access to the Vibe site in this way might not always have access to everything in the Vibe site. Only the original Vibe administrator always has rights to everything in the Vibe site.
To create a new group for administrators in your Vibe site, follow the steps in Section 5.2, Creating Groups of Users, then continue with Section 1.2.2, Assigning Administrative Rights to the Administration Group.
After you create a group for your Vibe administrators, as described in Section 5.2, Creating Groups of Users, you need to assign administrative rights to the group.
Log in to the Vibe site as the Vibe administrator.
