Creating a Group Account for PT Administrators

After all required technologies have been installed, create a group account containing the aliases of all users who are allowed to access the PT Admin application.

To create a local group for PT Administrators

  1. Log on as Administrator to the Web server on which the PT Admin application will be installed.
  2. Start the Windows NT User Manager for Domains. To do this, click the Windows NT Start button, point to Programs, point to Administrative Tools (Common), and then click User Manager for Domains.
  3. On the User menu, click Select Domain. In the resulting dialog box, type the name of your server. You will now be able to review all existing local group names without competition from other domains.
  4. On the User menu, click New Local Group. In the resulting dialog box, type an appropriate group name (for example "PT Administrators"). Optionally, type a description in the Description box.
  5. Click Add. The Add Users and Groups dialog box appears.
  6. Type the domain and user name of each user with authority to administer the PT Admin application. Use the format domain\username (for example, WebDomain\JohnSmith). Repeat this step until you have added all of the PT administrators.
  7. Click OK to close the Add Users and Groups dialog box.
  8. Click OK to close the New Local Group dialog box.
  9. Close the User Manager for Domains.
