Enabling a User to Administer Users
Topic Last Modified: 2009-02-27
Group Chat user administrators can grant Group Chat administrator rights to other users and even to themselves. A user administrator can use the Manage Users and User Groups command on the File menu of the Group Chat Administration Tool to do the following:
- Create federated groups.
- Grant administrator rights to users.
- Specify whether a user can post files to chat rooms.
To enable a user to administer group chat users
On the File menu, click Manage Users and User Groups.
In the Find Users and User Groups area, in the Search For box, type the name or part of the name of the user, and then click Search.
In the list of names that match your query, click the name, and then click Manage.
In the Manage User dialog box, click the Permissions tab.
Note the settings on the page, because you may need to reset them later in the procedure. Clear the Inherit permissions from user group check box.
Select the Is a user administrator check box.
If the Can upload files or Is a chat room administrator check boxes were selected before you cleared the Inherit permissions from user group check box, select them again.
Click OK.
