Alternate Administrator feature
The Alternate Administrator ( alteradmin ) feature allows a person to have the
same level of access to the server as the RaQ XTR Administrator ( admin ) but
without having to use the user name admin and password to log in.
For Internet service providers (ISPs) who offer RaQ XTR servers to their
customers, this feature allows the ISP access to the server if the RaQ XTR
Administrator has forgotten or incorrectly entered the password for the
user admin .
Setting up an alteradmin account
As the RaQ XTR Administrator, you can specify an alteradmin in two ways:
• in the Setup Wizard (see “System Settings” on page 24)
• in the “Administrator Settings” table for the user admin (see “Personal
profile” on page 47)
Once the user alteradmin has been set up, the user alteradmin does not appear on
the RaQ XTR or in the Server Desktop to any other user, including the RaQ XTR
Administrator.
If the user alteradmin has not been set up, a field to enable the user alteradmin
and enter a password is displayed in the “Administrator Settings” table for the
user admin under the Personal Profile tab. See “Personal profile” on page 47.
Once the user alteradmin is enabled, only the alteradmin can disable the user
alteradmin . This is performed through the “Administrator Settings” table for the
user alteradmin under the Personal Profile tab. See “Personal profile” on
page 47.
