You see this page because you are an admin-user

What is an admin-user?

An admin-user is technically a user in the group “submin-admins”.

Users in this group have special powers: they can manage users and groups; add repositories and manage permissions for directories in repositories and — of course — they can fly!

Regular users can only view their own profile-page in which they can change their own password and e-mail address, but admin-users can change this information for every user.

The sidebar

The access for all this wealth is on the left of this text, in the sidebar.

At the top you can see three sections: users, groups and repositories. Click on any of these groups and a submenu will fold out.

At the bottom you can see three buttons. The first adds a new user, the second a new group and the last button adds a new repository. These are also only visible for (and accessible to) admin-users.

If you move your mouse-pointer over a user or group, that user or group is highlighted and gets a (-) button. Clicking this button deletes that user or group.

There is one exception: the submin-admins group. You cannot remove this group because submin defines admin-users as users in the group submin-admin. Removing this group would render submin virtually useless.

Managing users and groups

To manage a user or group, you just click on its name in the sidebar. This opens a window with a few options.

For a user, you can set its e-mail address, password and memberships. For a group, you can only set its members.

To add a user to a group, select the group from the drop-down in the users' profile page (or the user in the group-page). That's it!

Repositories and permissions

If you click on a repository-name, you are confronted with two elements: the folder-tree and the info-box.

The folder-tree displays the structure of your repository and highlights the folders with permissions.

Clicking on a folder will change the info-box to reflect the current selected folder. You can edit its permissions here.

To add a permission, you must first select the user or group to restrict (or give access). After that you can select the appropriate permission from the drop-down next to its name. The permission is automatically saved when selecting it.

To remove this user or group from the permission-list, click the (-) next to the permission drop-down.
