Configure Admin's accounts
Document Actions
Each directory will be created with a new Role named NetworkIdAdmin (for example, for "Living Economy Network", the network id is "MIAnnArbor", so the new role will be MIAnnArborAdmin). Users with this Local Admin Role will be able to administer the directory by default.
In order to have certain processes working (for example, the sign up process), each directory needs to have at least one user with the Local Admin Role and email configured, so emails with alerts can have a destinatary person.
The directory can also be managed by users with the Manager role. Currently they will not get the email alerts.
To grant users the Local admin Role please do the following:
From the directory setup page, click Directory Admin Users in the Membership box.
There you will see a drop-down list with all existent users in the plone site that have email set. Choose the user you want to grant with the Local Admin Role and click add button.
Below the drop-down list there will be a list of all current administrators. You can remove them the Local Admin Role by selecting them and clicking delete button.
Note: if in the drop-down list is empty you should add new users or set email to existent ones. For doing so click on Plone Users Administration link.
That's all! Please ensure that you also configured your SMTP host according to SMTP's host setup.
