How do I add another Admin user?

Question

Is it possible to add more than one Admin user?  We need to have a couple people with the ability to administer the server, but need to be able to tell who did what for accountability.

Answer 1

FYI: The Administrator and Manager role users only can access Server Manager.

We assign Admin Role to the default Admin user account only. Anyhow, you can create another user with the Manager Role, to have the permissions as like Admin user.

The Admin Role user can’t be deleted from Users list but the Manager Role users can be deleted. It is the difference between the Admin and Manager Role users.

Please have a visit on the following page to know more details about users creation.

Hope this helps you.

Hmmm...So I just found out you CAN select the Admin role for other users....but only though the Web Console/Website version of the Server Manager?  That seems strange to me.

FYI: Output Messenger don’t allow to set Admin role to other users. The Admin role will be assigned only to the default Admin user who will be created during the installation.

Unfortunately, there was a small problem occurred in Browser/Website version that leaded you to assign Admin role to other users. We will provide you the fix for it as soon as possible.
