Special Groups feature

Provides a Web Admin feature to limit administrative access for certain users to being able to do user/group administration only, rather than having entire administrative level access.

Overview of zUserGroupAdmin and zPasswordAdmin Groups

This feature enables you to add two specifically named CS groups whose members will have limited administrative capabilities, as follows:

zUserGroupAdmin
Users added to this group will be able to add, delete, and modify CS users and groups. Exceptions to this functionality are as follows:

zPasswordAdmin
Users added to this group will be able to modify passwords for all CS users and groups. The same exceptions apply here as above.

These groups are NOT truly administrative groups within CS, but do have the limited administrative capabilities noted above.

Adding zUserGroupAdmin and zPasswordAdmin to CS

As with any other new group, you can add zUserGroupAdmin and zPasswordAdmin to your CS library system in one of the following ways:

See your CS server documentation for details on adding users and groups.

WARNINGS

Assign members to the zUserGroupAdmin group with caution. Remember, they can make changes to ALL modifiable properties in all User and Group objects, which means they can, among other things, do the following (except to the initial Admin user and Administrator group):

Note You can always use the super-user Admin account in CS to undo changes made by members of these quasi-administrative groups, assuming you or other administrators in your organization have ready access to the logon credentials for the Admin user.
