1.3 Creating Additional Vibe Administrators

Only the original (built-in) Vibe administrator can add or remove site administrator rights for users and groups.

Additional Vibe administrators have rights to administer the following:

  • Users

  • Groups

  • Mobile Devices

1.3.1 Assigning Administrative Rights to a User or Group

  1. Log in to Vibe as the Vibe administrator.

    1. Launch a web browser.

    2. Specify one of the following URLs, depending on whether you are using a secure SSL connection:

      http://vibe_hostname:8080
https://vibe_hostname:8443

      Replace vibe_hostname with the host name or fully qualified domain name of the Vibe server that you have set up in DNS. If you configured the HTTP ports correctly during installation, you do not need to include the port number in the Vibe URL.

      Depending on how you have configured your Vibe system, you might not be required to enter the port number in the URL. If you are using NetIQ Access Manager, the Vibe login screen is not used.

  2. Click the admin link in the upper-right corner of the page, then click the Administration Console icon .

  3. In the Management section, click Administrators.

  4. Click Add, then begin typing the name of the user or group for whom you want to grant administrator rights.

  5. Click the user or group name when it appears in the drop-down list.

To remove administrator rights from a user or group:

  1. Select the users or groups for whom you want to remove administrator rights.

  2. Click Remove.

1.3.2 Creating an Administration Group

You can create an administration group and assign rights only to that group:

  1. Log in to Vibe as the Vibe administrator.

    1. Launch a web browser.

    2. Specify one of the following URLs, depending on whether you are using a secure SSL connection:

      http://vibe_hostname:8080
https://vibe_hostname:8443

      Replace vibe_hostname with the host name or fully qualified domain name of the Vibe server that you have set up in DNS. If you configured the HTTP ports correctly during installation, you do not need to include the port number in the Vibe URL.

      Depending on how you have configured your Vibe system, you might not be required to enter the port number in the URL. If you are using NetIQ Access Manager, the Vibe login screen is not used.

  2. Create an administration group, described in Creating Groups of Users.

  3. Assign administrator rights to that group, as described in Assigning Administrative Rights to a User or Group.

  4. When you want to grant administrative rights to a user, add that user to the administrator group that you created. (For information about how to add users to a group, see Modifying Groups.)
