amiibyAdd users
The first administrator is created from the CLI, as described in "Install".
Every user after that can be added from the admin screen (/admin/users).
The difference between user and admin
admin: can operate every admin screen. That includes adding users, changing their roles and deleting them. An admin can also review and clean up other people's "Private" content from the admin screen.user: can register and edit all five kinds of content, and can change their visibility. Ausercannot operate the screens meant for admins.
Here is what a user can do and what only an admin can do.
| Operation | user |
admin |
|---|---|---|
| Register, edit and delete content (all five kinds) | Yes | Yes |
| Change visibility | Yes | Yes |
| Register and delete shared folders | No | Only from the server PC |
| Rescan an archive | Yes | Yes |
| Publish and unpublish archive items | Yes | Yes |
| Add and remove axis values, edit their display names | Yes | Yes |
| Add and remove axes themselves, change their source | No | Yes |
| Change how display titles are assembled | No | Yes |
| Add users, change their roles, delete them, reset passwords | No | Yes |
A user cannot see other people's "Private" content.
It does not appear in the admin list, and opening it directly comes back as not found.
Adding
Use "Add" on the admin screen and give a username, a password and a role.
Deleting
When a user is deleted, the "Private" content they registered is changed to "Hidden" and kept. Review it on the admin screen and decide whether to clean it up or publish it. Their other content is left as it is.
The last admin cannot be deleted or demoted
While only one admin remains, that person cannot be deleted or demoted to user.
This prevents a state where nobody can operate the admin screens.
