Multiple Administrators

Do we have the ability to appoint more than one administrator?
I've struck that need twice, and I can see it coming again.

Voluntary groups are reluctant to have one person "in charge".

Hi,

I want to amend the visibility of files on our group.  Online help (pasted
below)

Edit Group Security Properties

	 Click on Edit the security properties of the group to open the Edit Group
Security Properties page.
On this page, you can specify:

	 the group Visibility (who can see this group)
	 the group Joinability (who can join this group)
	 who can View files
	 who can View messages
Visibility

You can set the Visibility so that the existence of the group may be seen by:

	 Everyone
	 Only site and group members
	 Only group members


You can set View Files so that files uploaded to the group may be seen by:

	 Everyone
	 Only site and group members
	 Only group members
	 or Same as group settings to set the visibility of the files to be the same
as the visibility settings of the group
View Messages




Suggests I can amend multiple properties in the admin section.

However all I can see if this;
Change Group Privacy

There are three basic privacy settings for an online group: public, private,
and secret. Changing the privacy setting will alter who can see the group and
the posts. However, only group members can post messages to the group in all
cases.

Group Privacy Setting
 Public: Everyone can view the group, view the posts, and join the group.
 Private: Everyone can view the group, but only group members can view the
posts. Anyone can request to become a member.
 Secret: Only group members can view the group and posts. People must be
invited to join the group.
Can you help me with this please?


Thanks,

Regards

Hi Benjamin,

No this is not yet possible via the site-site admin interface.

An existing site administrator can appoint a second site admin by emailing
details of the second site admin to our support email address
<email obscured>> -- we will make the change promptly.

cheers,

Dan
