After you have installed ownCloud you might realize that it would be nice to
|
||||
provide an additional function on top of the core functionality in your ownCloud installation.
|
||||
|
||||
The first step should be to check out the `ownCloud apps store <http://apps.owncloud.com/>`_. There you will find a
|
||||
lot of ready-to-use apps provided by the ownCloud community.
|
||||
With ownCloud installation, you will find some apps enabled by default. To see which applications
|
||||
are enabled, click on Apps button on web interface navigation to go into applications page:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: ../images/oc_admin_app_page.png
|
||||
Administrator application page
|
||||
|
||||
In this page, you can enable or disable applications simply by clicking on their names.
|
||||
Enabled applications will be shown in **bold**, while disabled ones will be shown in normal font.
|
||||
If the app is not developed by ownCloud, it will have the *3rd party* notice next to it. To see what an
|
||||
application does, clicking on its name will show a description on the right side of the same page.
|
||||
|
||||
To install new apps, you can use *More apps* button or check out the `ownCloud apps store <http://apps.owncloud.com/>`_.
|
||||
There you will find a lot of ready-to-use apps provided by the ownCloud community.
|
||||
|
||||
If you would like to add your own app, please use *Add your App...* button on the same page. This will redirect you to
|
||||
our `Developer Center <http://owncloud.org/dev>`_.

User Management
|
||||
===============
|
||||
|
||||
ownCloud administrators can easily manage users via web interface. To go into
|
||||
user management page, click your username on web interface and select *Users*.
|
||||
A page similar to the image below will be shown:
|
||||
|
||||
.. figure:: ../images/oc_admin_user_manage.png
|
||||
Users management page
|
||||
|
||||
A fictive use case will help you understand the concept of users, user groups
|
||||
and group admins.
|
||||
|
||||
Think of a small, 25-member staff company, named "Cloud Lovers", that is lead
|
||||
by its founder Richard. In this company Bob acts as IT operator and recently
|
||||
set up ownCloud. Being the installing user, Bob is member of the so called
|
||||
"admin" user group of ownCloud. His colleague Tom, who provides support if Bob
|
||||
is on holiday, is member of the "admin" user group as well. All employees,
|
||||
including Bob and Tom, are members of the user group "Internal", that is used
|
||||
to share data across the company. Mostly for operational data, that should not
|
||||
be accessible to all employees, Bob created the "Administration" user group
|
||||
having two members: Richard and his assistant Susan. Richard is group admin of
|
||||
this user group, so he can manage the members of the "Administration" user
|
||||
group on his own.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Users
|
||||
-----
|
||||
|
||||
A user represents an account of the ownCloud installation. In this section the
|
||||
core properties are listed.
|
||||
|
||||
*Login name (Username)*
|
||||
This is the unique ID of a ownCloud user (e.g. test, jon.doe).
|
||||
|
||||
*Full Name*
|
||||
This is the name that is used all over the user interface to identify the
|
||||
user i.e. when sharing data or sending mails. If no display name is set, it
|
||||
defaults to the login name.
|
||||
|
||||
*Password*
|
||||
This is the password the user uses to login to ownCloud.
|
||||
|
||||
*Groups*
|
||||
This is a list of security groups the user is assigned to. By default the
|
||||
user is not member of any user group.
|
||||
|
||||
*Group Admin*
|
||||
This is a list of security groups the user has administration privileges for.
|
||||
By default the user is not registered as group admin for any user group.
|
||||
|
||||
*Storage*
|
||||
This is the maximum disk space that may be used by the user. If the user
|
||||
reaches this limit he/she is not able to upload or sync further data. The
|
||||
storage quota is specified in the format *Number Unit* (e.g. 100 B (byte),
|
||||
50 KB (kilobyte), 20 MB (megabyte), 5 GB (gigabyte)). If no unit is given,
|
||||
the number is interpreted as bytes.
|
||||
|
||||
Each user is able to change its display name and password.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Create a user
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Before users can sign in and share data, they need ownCloud user accounts.
|
||||
|
||||
To create a user account:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Enter the new user's **Login Name** and its initial **Password** in the
|
||||
appropriate fields.
|
||||
#. (Optional) Select the **Groups** to which you want to assign the new user.
|
||||
#. Click **Create**.
|
||||
#. (Optional) Edit additional user settings.
|
||||
|
||||
To set other user settings, such as setting a display name or limiting the
|
||||
user's storage, see instructions as follows.
|
||||
|
||||
Created users will have the storage specified on *Default Storage* setting
|
||||
on the same page.
|
||||
|
||||
Login names may contain letters (a-z, A-Z), numbers (0-9), dashes (-),
|
||||
underscores (_), periods (.) and at signs (@).
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Reset a user's password
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To reset a user's password:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Hover the line of the user.
|
||||
#. Click on the **pencil icon** next to the password field.
|
||||
#. Enter the user's new password in the password field and then hit the
|
||||
**Enter** key of your keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
Remember to provide the user with the new login information after you have
|
||||
reset the password.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Rename a user
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Each ownCloud user has two names: an unique *login name* used for
|
||||
authentication, and a *display name* (e.g. the user's first name and last name)
|
||||
used in the user interface. You can edit the display name of a user, but you
|
||||
cannot change the login name of any user.
|
||||
|
||||
To set a user's display name:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Hover the line of the user.
|
||||
#. Click on the **pencil icon** next to the display name field.
|
||||
#. Enter the user's new display name in the corresponding field and then hit
|
||||
the **Enter** key of your keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Grant administrator privileges to a user
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
If a user has administrator privileges, the user has the right to manage other
|
||||
users. Within ownCloud there are two types of administrators: *Super
|
||||
Administrators* and *Group Administrators*.
|
||||
|
||||
Group administrators have the management rights to:
|
||||
|
||||
* Create new users and assign them to the group of the group administrator
|
||||
* Edit and delete users that are assigned to the group of the group
|
||||
administrator
|
||||
|
||||
Group administrators cannot access system settings or modify installation-wide
|
||||
configuration like the default storage.
|
||||
|
||||
To assign the *super administrator* role to a user:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Use the drop-down list in *Groups* column of the user
|
||||
#. Assign the user to the "admin" user group
|
||||
|
||||
To assign the *group administrator* role to a user:
|
||||
|
||||
Find the user and select the user groups from the **Group Admin** drop-down
|
||||
list you want the user become group administrator for.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Assign a user to a user group
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To assign a user to a user group:
|
||||
|
||||
Find the user and select the user groups from the **Groups** drop-down list
|
||||
you want to assign the user to. You can use *add group* link to create a new
|
||||
group to assign the user to. You can assign the user more than one group by checking
|
||||
multiple groups.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If a file/folder is shared with a group, newly created users will immediately
|
||||
have access to the share.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If you assign a user to the *admin* user group, the user will become a
|
||||
*Super Administrator* with unlimited privileges.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Limit a user's storage
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To limit a user's storage quota:
|
||||
|
||||
Find the user and select an item from the **Storage** drop-down list.
|
||||
|
||||
* If you select *Default*, the default storage limit, specified in the
|
||||
action bar at the top, is applied.
|
||||
* If you select *Unlimited*, the user is not limited until the total disk
|
||||
space is consumed.
|
||||
* If you want to enter a custom limit, select *Other...*, enter the storage
|
||||
quota of your choice and hit the **Enter** key of your keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
If you edit the value of the **Default Storage** field in the action bar, all
|
||||
users with storage *Default* are affected by this change, i.e. changing the
|
||||
default storage from *Unlimited* to *1 GB* will cause all users with *Default*
|
||||
storage being limited to 1 GB storage each.
|
||||
|
||||
Delete User
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
**Important considerations before deleting a user:**
|
||||
|
||||
* The user will no longer be able to sign in to your ownCloud installation.
|
||||
* You cannot revert the deletion or restore a deleted account.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If this user had a share with a group or user, the share also will
|
||||
be deleted permanently.
|
||||
|
||||
To delete a user account:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Hover the line of the user you want to delete.
|
||||
#. Click the **cross icon** at the end of the line.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If you accidentally delete a user, you can use undo button shown on
|
||||
notification bar at the top of the page.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
User Groups
|
||||
-----------
|
||||
|
||||
Create Group
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
To create a user group:
|
||||
|
||||
#. Open the **Groups** drop-down list in the action bar.
|
||||
#. Click **add group**.
|
||||
#. Enter the name of the new group and then hit the **Enter** key of your
|
||||
keyboard.
|
||||
|
||||
You can *assign users* to the newly created user groups anytime by using users'
|
||||
group drop-down list.
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Edit/Delete Group
|
||||
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
|
||||
|
||||
Currently, groups cannot be edited (e.g. renamed) or removed. This feature
|
||||
will be available in a future version of ownCloud.
|
||||
|
||||
.. note:: If you have direct access to the database, you can manually delete the group
|
||||
from database tables oc_groups and oc_group_user.
