How do I add new Secure Global Desktop Administrators?

You can use Object Manager or the tarantella role command to add new Secure Global Desktop Administrators.

To add a Secure Global Desktop Administrator using Object Manager:

  1. On the Browse tab, open the Secure Global Desktop 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 Secure Global Desktop 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 Secure Global Desktop 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 Secure Global Desktop Administrators are removed?

If there are no Secure Global Desktop 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 Secure Global Desktop Administrators.
