How to add extra administrator users
(requires Enterprise MFT)

Often, users want to add extra CompleteFTP administrators, so that they have several accounts with administrator access. This is only possible in Enterprise MFT.

It is very straightforward to add local admin users, i.e. CompleteFTP users that have administrator privileges. Use the Add user link in the Users tab of the CompleteFTP manager, and select the Admin User menu item.

If you want an existing Windows user to be set as an administrator, it is more complicated. The steps are shown below:

  1. Add the Windows user to CompleteFTP
  2. Set the home directory of the user on the Admin site to /Admin (see note below)
  3. Add the user to the admins group

By default, the Admin site is not shown the dialog that allows you to set the home directory of a user. You'll need to select "Show system users/folders/sites" in the Options menu at the bottom left of the window in order to make it appear there.
