Set up Delegated Domain Administration

This article describes the required settings that enable delegated domain administration.

Solution

NOTE: You will need the "Delegated Administration" add-on enabled for your current license. Without it, the areas described by this article will not be available in the webadmin interface.

1. To delegate a domain's management to another administrative user, log into the webadmin interface and go to "Administration Rights" -> "Administrative Users" page. Click the "Add administrative user" button, enter a username and password for this user and click the "Quick add" button to create the user.

Once the user has been created, you can log into the webadmin interface and the CLI with this user and the set password. However, until rights have not been assigned to this user, you will not be able to perform any administration tasks while logged in as that user.

To delegate administration tasks to this user, you must log into the webadmin as the "admin" account and click the "edit" button next to the administrative account. In the "Permissions" tab, click the "Add domain permission" button to delegate control over a single domain. Choose the specific domain from the top drop-down list and an action from the bottom drop-down list. Remember to set the "Permission" value to "allow". To provide the administrative user with full domain permissions you will need to allow all of the actions available for that domain.

NOTE: Any value that is not explicitly permitted is denied.

NOTE: To see the permissions an account has for one domain, select it from the "Show effective permissions on resource" drop-down box for a quick overview.
