[TUTORIAL] Registering a sysadmin

[bfarrell]

Registering a new sysadmin *Rough Draft*

The following steps are assuming the user is connected to Mohawk:

1. Login as your servers existing sysadmin: The first sysadmin account details would have been provided to you already. Using user 'sysadmin' and the provided password, connect to your Mohawk server.

2. Locate the user to upgrade: Once you've found the user you want to make a sysadmin, make sure they're a registered user first. Then, right click on their name and select 'Edit this user's data'. (Example (http://mohawkvoice.com/faq/registering-sysadmin/registering-sysadmin-1.JPG))

3. Making the user a sysadmin: Now that you're in the 'Edit Users' data field, use the drop down box to change their user type to System Administrator. (Example (http://mohawkvoice.com/faq/registering-sysadmin/registering-sysadmin-2.JPG))

4. Create a password for the user: Next, select the 'Create Password' button, and fill out the appropriate fields. Provide this password to the to-be sysadmin so he can now connect as a sysadmin. Confirm the password change at the prompt. (Example (http://mohawkvoice.com/faq/registering-sysadmin/registering-sysadmin-3.JPG))

5. Having the new sysadmin connect: The newly created sysadmin will need to disconnect and reconnect, and fill out the password when prompted. Once they log in, their sysadmin upgrade will be complete. They will now have full control over the Mohawk Server.

The following steps are assuming the user is not connected to Mohawk:

1. Login as your servers existing sysadmin: The first sysadmin account details would have been provided to you already. Using user 'sysadmin' and the provided password, connect to your Mohawk server. (Example (http://mohawkvoice.com/faq/registering-sysadmin/registering-sysadmin-5.JPG))

2. Promoting the user: In your Mohawk Voice lobby, right click on the root channel (next to the GLOBE) and when the menu comes up, select 'Register a New User..'. (Example (http://mohawkvoice.com/faq/registering-sysadmin/registering-sysadmin-5.JPG))

3. See Above: Following step 3 from above, you'll be able to complete the steps necessary.

The bold section refers to only the servers which are named "Mohawk Voice". If you are in your own server such text will not be found. I would suggest changing this to.... right click on the blue circle ??

Not sure what else you could call it since its an editable field for everyone and could be the name of the clan, or an organization, or it could be a useless message that says "dont forget to change your underwear"

I Connect To My Mohawk server, how do i make my self admin?? it says im a guest

[jbiloh]

In setup your username should be "sysadmin" and then use the password given to you by your provider.

Once you login you can right click on yourself and rename yourself from sysadmin to whatever you like.

i have no idea how to add myself as admin. i put my name as sysadmin but have no idea where to put the password i have v1.1 client i think i need server but were. i do have a 25 slot server.

When you connect it should ask you for a password. If it doesn't, your provider probably set the System Administrator username to something other than "Sysadmin" so ask them.
