How do I add new Tarantella Administrators?

You can use Object Manager or the tarantella role command to add new Tarantella Administrators.

To add a Tarantella Administrator using Object Manager:

1. On the Browse tab, open the Tarantella System Objects organization.
2. Select the Global Administrators role object, and then click Properties.
3. Find the person object for the user you want to be a Tarantella Administrator, and drop it on the Members tab.

The user's webtop now includes the links shown in the Links tab of the Global Administrators object. In Object Manager, the Links tab for the user's person object also shows the links.

To remove a Tarantella Administrator using Object Manager, click the person object in the Global Administrators object's Members tab, and then click Remove.

What happens if all the Tarantella Administrators are removed?

If there are no Tarantella Administrators defined (no users occupy the Global Administrators role) then the user with TFN name .../_user/root (corresponding to the UNIX root user) is given administration privileges. You can log in as this user and run Object Manager to add some Tarantella Administrators.
