Granting administration rights to a user allows them to use the 'Administration' menu within CrowdID, which enables them to perform the actions described in the CrowdID Administration Guide.


CrowdID administration rights are managed via Crowd. To grant administration rights to a user, you need to add them to the 'crowd-administrators' group as described below. Note:

  • adding a user to the 'crowd-administrators' group will also confer Crowd administration rights (unless you choose to use a different group to contain Crowd administrators). See 4.08 Granting Crowd Administration Rights to a User in the Crowd Administration Guide.
  • the 'crowd-administrators' group always contains CrowdID administrators, regardless of whether or not you are using it to contain Crowd administrators.

To grant administration rights to a user,

  1. Login to your Crowd server¹.
  2. Click the 'Principals' link in the top navigation bar.
  3. This will display the Principal Browser (in Crowd, users are known as 'principals'). Select the directory that contains the principal to whom you wish to grant administration rights.
  4. Locate the principal, and click the 'View' link that corresponds to the principal.
  5. This will display the 'Principal Details' screen. Click the 'Groups' tab.
  6. A list of the principal's current groups (if any) will be displayed. Select the 'crowd-administrators' group from the drop-down box below the list, then click the 'Add' button.

¹ To find your Crowd server's URL, see 1.1.2 Locating the Crowd Server that CrowdID is using.
