[ZendTo] Adding Users?

[Jules]

Michael,

The <something-here> is a standard convention used in all Unix/Linux 
documentation. The <> round it are basically brackets so that you know 
it's a parameter and not an absolute bit of text you need to include.

So <username> means "put the username here".
Don't actually include the '<' or '>' characters.

So the example below is entered correctly as this command:
sudo /opt/zendto/bin/adduser 'mjimlay' 'it at dellconsultingllc.com' 
'Michael Imlay' 'Dell Consulting'

And then, as Chris says, if you want the user mjimlay to be a ZendTo 
admin, edit your /opt/zendto/config/preferences.php, find the setting 
'authAdmins' and set it to this:
   'authAdmins' => array('mjimlay'),
Don't forget to put the comma on the end of the line!

Then you should be able to immediately log in to your ZendTo site as the 
new username.

Cheers,
Jules.
