Create user - administrator

We will create a network user for ourselves with administrator rights for all OSs (Linux, Windows) in order to be able to install software, printers etc

Execution of LServerAdmin application

  • From within our lab if we sit on server (to create our first account)
    1. We connect with username user on LXDE graphical environment.
    2. We click on LServerAdmin icon on desktop.
  • From a browser, remotely from the Internet or from any pc in our lab (we should already have a personal account with full rights)
    1. From our home we connect to the LServerAdmin Internet already given to us along with the passwords
    2. or from within the lab from any pc we open http://loginserver from a browser
    3. As username we enter our own and press ENTER
    4. We type our password (password is not shown not even as stars for security reasons in Linux) and press ENTER
    5. We type lserver-admin and press ENTER
    6. We type again our password, press ENTER and LServerAdmin application will start.

Creation of our personal user-administrator

  1. From LServerAdmin main menu we select Users and then the group we want. If we are a school we select Teachers, else Company Users.
  2. We select Add User. (Note: We navigate between fields with up and down arrows and not with TAB)
  3. For User Name we use lower case latin characters without spaces or symbols.
  4. For security reasons Password must be at least 6 characters including latin characters and numbers.
  5. We press OK to create the user.
  6. Οn the next dialog Windows System Groups we check with SPACE both Administrators and Domain Admins groups and press OK. We just gave administrator permissions on virtual machine running Windows OS.
  7. Οn the next dialog Linux Special System Groups we check with SPACE group linux-client-admins-full and press OK. We just gave administrator permissions on virtual machine running Linux OS.
  8. Οn the next dialog LServerAdmin execution permissions we check with SPACE group lserver-admin-full and press OK. We gave full execution permissions on LServerAdmin application to our personal user.

Set unlimited quota

We can set unlimited quota on the user we just created with the following procedure

If necessary, we can set unlimited quota on an administrator or teacher account (configure user with no quota limit), but we should monitor disk usage not to get too excessive.

  1. From the initial menu of LServerAdmin application we select Services / Basic Services / Users Profile / Configure
  2. We select No quota users
  3. We check with SPACE our personal user account and press OK. We just set unlimited quota space on our personal user.
Attention! We should not exceed 1-2GB because this will grow up excessively backups and we even might fill up storage.
 

We select Back successively until we exit LServerAdmin application.
