| --------------------------------------- | ||
| The different parts of PostfixAdmin | ||
|
|
||
| /admin directory scripts are used by superadmins, also known as 'site admins'. | ||
| When you log in as a superadmin you'll be running scripts from /admin that | ||
| won't bother checking to see if you are allowed to admin for a domain. As | ||
| a superadmin you can add and remove domains, mailboxes, aliases, domain admins, | ||
| and create more superadmins. A superadmin will be not stopped from doing | ||
| anything, so be careful, you can delete your our login account. | ||
|
|
||
| login.php sorts out what type of admin you are and sends you to the right place. | ||
| The scripts in / are used by domain admins and always check to see if you are | ||
| an admin for the domain (or user within a domain) you are attempting to change. | ||
|
|
||
| End user scripts only do operations on the currently logged in user. | ||
| If the end user options provide more than you want your users to have, | ||
| check the user options in config.inc.php, or, even better, edit the | ||
| user templates and remove the options. | ||
|
|
||
| Postfix Admin has a concept of a "global" administrator (think 'root') and | ||
| domain administrators. When you install PostfixAdmin, the setup.php file | ||
| will ask you to create the global administrators account. Using this global | ||
| account, you can (if you so wish) create domain administrators who are | ||
| limited to making changes within the domains you specify for them. | ||
|
|
||
| Historically when you logged in as the 'global' (or superadmin) user, you'd | ||
| access /admin; with version 2.2.0, this 'functionality' was removed (as there | ||
| was excessive code duplication) and everyone uses the same login.php script. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| Needless to say, as a global administrator, you can do all kinds of bad things - | ||
| like deleting domains and stopping delivery of mail to a particular mailbox. So | ||
| - take care, and if you're unsure take semi-regular backups. | ||
|
|
||
|
|
||
| If you login, and you are not an administrator (i.e. you are a 'regular' user | ||
| who just has a mailbox on the server), then you will only see functionality to | ||
| modify your own account - e.g. change password, edit forward records and specify | ||
| whether you are on vacation (out of office) or not. | ||
