Setting ManicTime Server administrators
From server web pages
If you are a server Administrator, you can add other users to "Administrator" role. Go to Administration (link at the top right of any web page on the server), then "Permissions". There you can add more users to Administrator role.If you don't see Administration, Permissions section, it means that you are not the administrator on the server.
By default, the administrator on the server is:
- Windows users - the Windows user which was logged on when ManicTime Server was installed. On server machines this is usually local Administrator account
- ManicTime users - this is chosen at install time by the person installing the server
If for some reason you can't figure out who Administrator is, you can still add one from command line after the server is installed.
You can add administrators from command line. Before you can add administrators, you need to stop ManicTime Server. Open command prompt where ManicTimeServer.exe is (usually in "Program files x86/ManicTime Server") and type:
Windows authentication
In Windows authentication you only add username, for example
If username contains a space, use double quotes:
