In order to have the flexibility to add new users to the Trellis 2011 system, without having to call someone with Windows administrator rights you can designate a Windows Group as the Trellis Administrator group.

 

This means that users added to this designated group has rights to add new users to Trellis 2011 as well as set their status to activate or deactivated.

 

First you will need to set up the Windows group on your domain controller.

 

The in Trellis 2011 go to the Tools menu and select Manage Administrator Group. You will then see this window.

 

 

 

 

Click on the edit icon to add the group name, that will open up this window.

 

 

 

Enter the name of the Windows group that will act as administrator for Trellis 2011 and then click Save. The window will then close down.  You will then see the first window you opened with the name of the Windows group. Click Close and your administrator group has been set up.

 

Now any member of that Windows group, in addition to your Windows administrator, will be able to add new users to the system as well as set their user status to activated or deactivated.
