Showing server-manager panels to a user

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

Hello,
First of all I’m new here, and a very fresh new fan of nethserver.
I created new users but I can’t give privilege of admin for new users, I already gave a admin group(default group), but I cant access to all the functions of the dashboard.
Any idea?

Thanks

*Sorry my english, I’m Portuguese

Actually you have to do it manually.
See: User-delegated-Panel, think tank

But i suggest you a simpler solution: use two different passwords for admin and root, and give the admin access to a specific user.

ou a simpler solution: use two different passwords for admin and root, and give the admin access to a specific user.

I already did that, but I wanted other user with admin privilege.

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

How we do manually?

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

I have this new user in the admin group

But when I try to access with this user I only have the profile:

@davidep sorry to bother, but this is yours

are you talking about admin privileges on web gui or on windows’ side?

in the first case, AFAIK, it’s not possible

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

@zamboni

the first case, AFAIK, it’s not possible

It was in the first case, so it’s not possible OK, and yes the users is me.
Thanks a lot, what a amazing community.

It’s an interesting feature, I want it and we have already discussed but badly I don’t remember where
@Paulo_Rodrigues I changed the category into “Feature” and modified the title.
How can we handle this? Can we achieve some thoughts?

[zamboni (Stefano)]

the solution is quite simple and already here: just share admin credentials with users that need to login into web GUI

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

but how you share admin credentials with other users?? sorry if the questions is nub but I’m a nub to

[zamboni (Stefano)]

well… fisrt of all I guess you need to give some users the possibility to login in web GUI to change some parameters… if so, since there’s no different access level (i.e. even if possible, all users loggin in will see all and could do everything), you have to give to delegate user(s) the admin password (different from the root’s one)

obviously you must trust the user(s)

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

I know now is noob not nub, lol sorry my english

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

As suggested by @Paulo_Rodrigues the starting idea might be quite simple, we need to permit a normal user to see just a few of existing panels, for example:

• user/groups/email address - managing email accounts
• dashboard - showing NethServer status
• shared folders - managing fileserver

What about? I am keen to hear what others think

[Paulo_Rodrigues]

with that is amazing improvement, but some information I think is important to for example in the dasboard the information how much each user holds the file server in comparison to other users. which models the admin want them to see and so on…

Good, please don’t add other arguments here, we have already covered this topic with @sitz you can reply there:

The NethServer End User Dashboard

#The NethServer End User Dashboard [image] NethServer is small-medium enterprise oriented and in organizations of this size there isn’t an IT manager, most of times we have to give instruction to the owner and/or a person that is skilled enough to do some task on the server but they aren’t IT worker and often (or always) they cannot understand with ease reports or admin dashboard. For what I have seen in the last years more and more customers are asking for an interface that can give them in…

[giacomo (Giacomo Sanchietti)]

We already have it, simply there is no GUI for the configuration.

[alefattorini (Alessio Fattorini)]

Good to know! So the first big step is already done only remaining to craft the GUI.

from what I recall the file /usr/share/nethesis/NethServer/Authorization/base.json needs to be templated

I did a quick template sometime ago

User-delegated-Panel, think tank

Thank you for your interest and answers. The problem with static roles defined by architects of NethServer is that this will never fit the need of contributors. I mean you will decide and create categories of users or groups, but what about of exceptions…panels created after your reflexion, or forks of other panels For example, now I can create really thin permissions, a user can be allowed to use some, all, or just one Panel. Sometime you don’t need to delegate all Panels…or same for a grou…

Thanks for having started the job do you have any mockup or suggestion on howto designing the GUI?
