1: Silly question. Several administrators on ACS 4

Posted by Jorge Garcia on 06/14/02 12:01 AM

Hi,

I can't find how to add a second administrator to a site after a new
install.

Simply, I can't remember how did I this the first time.

Please, any help?

Funnily enough, I had to do this only yesterday. In Oracle you do:


begin
  acs_permission.grant_permission (
    object_id => acs.magic_object_id('security_context_root'),
    grantee_id => :user_id,
    privilege => 'admin'
  );
end;

and in Postgres it's:

select acs_permission__grant_permission(
  acs__magic_object_id('security_context_root'), 
  :user_id, 
  'admin')

(from /packages/acs-bootstrap-installer/installer/create-administrator-2.tcl)

dont know of a way to do it via the web interface but via sql:

select acs_permission__grant_permission(acs__magic_object_id('security_context_root'),_INSERT_USER_ID_,'admin');

On the web ui, I went to /permissions and added direct permissions (admin) for the user in Object 0.
