Adding IBM Content Navigator administrators

The administration desktop that you use to administer the IBM Content Navigator web client is included in the initial IBM Content Navigator configuration. Users who are added as IBM Content Navigator administrators are the only users who can access the administration desktop.

About this task

Tip: IBM Content Navigator administrators can also access the administration tool from any desktop if they log in to the desktop as an IBM Content Navigator administrator.

The user IDs of the IBM Content Navigator administrators must match the user IDs that exist on your web application server. Therefore, when you log in to a desktop as an administrator, you are logging in to the web application server and not the repository. The user IDs do not need to be administrators on the web application server.

Procedure

To add administrator users:

  1. Open the administration tool in the web client.
  2. Click Settings > Administrators.
  3. Add user IDs for one or more administrator users.
    You can specify a short name, for example:
    • User1
    Or you can specify a user name, prefaced with a realm, to differentiate the user from another user with the same ID in a different realm, for example:
    • Company/User1
    • Company/User1@Company.com
    • DefaultWIMFileBased/User1
    When the administrator user ID is verified, the comparison is case-insensitive. To view the realm name for your own user ID, hover over your login name in the IBM Content Navigator desktop banner.
    Tip: You can add only the IDs of specific users. You cannot use a group ID as an administrator.
  4. Save the settings.
