Create a Personal Administrator Account

You should now be at the first page of the Lyris Web Interface, and the words "no topics are currently defined" should be displayed on your screen. If this is not the case, go the manual section titled Bring up the Lyris Web Interface.

Next you should click your mouse on the icon labeled "Admin", which looks like: a

Administrator Login

The Administrator Login page will now be displayed. At this point, users of the Lyris Web Interface have to identify themselves with a name and a password in order to proceed further. This page is the "security checkpoint" to administrative functions within Lyris.

The Administrator Login page will look like this:

a

At this point, you will need to log in using the standard system administrator name and password. These are:

Name: admin
Password: lyris

After you have filled the two fields on the Administrator Login page with this information, press the Server Admin button.

Our first task will be to create a personal account for you as the Server Administrator of this Lyris Server.

At this point, you will be at a page titled "Server Admin Menu", which looks like:

Create a Person

From the Server Admin Menu, press the button labeled People.

A page titled Edit, Create or Delete a Person will appear, which looks like:

Notice that the list box under the label Edit or delete an existing person only has one person in it, named Admin. This is the standard system account which Lyris created for you, and which you just used to get into the Server Administrator functions.

At this point, we want to create a new Person, which you will then use to identify yourself at the Admin Login screen.

Press the Create Person button.

A page titled Create a New Person will be displayed, which looks like:

Notice that the label for the Name field is in Red and has the word (required) under it. This means that you must enter information in the Name field in order to save this form. Fields with red labels are required information in order to continue.

Fill out the following information:

1) In the Name field, enter your name. For example: Jane Smith

2) In the Server Admin field, change the selection to Yes. You want to be a Server Administrator.

3) In the Password field, enter a short password that you will use to identify yourself in the future. The password can contain any characters you like, and can be as long or short as you like. Be sure to remember your password. If you forget it, you will not be able to log in to Lyris in the future. If you prefer, you can leave your password blank.

The rest of the information is optional, and you can fill it in if you like. The email, telephone, fax, address and comments fields are for informational purposes only. They allow others to find out more information about you.

Once you are done filling out the fields on this page, press the Save button. You will see a confirmation page which looks like this:

Remove the Admin Account

We will now log in using your newly created account, and then remove the standard system administrator account (the admin account).

Use your Web Browser's Back command to back up 4 pages, until you are once again at the Administrator Login page. Enter your name and password, and press the Server Admin button.

You will find yourself at the Server Admin Menu page.

Press the People button.

Select the person named Admin from the list box labeled Edit or delete an existing person. Once the Admin person is selected, press the Delete Person button to delete the person named Admin.

A confirmation page will be displayed, which looks like this:

Press the button labeled Go to server admin menu.

You will now find yourself at the Server Admin Menu.
