System Administration
Overview
System Administration can be accessed by clicking on the
System Admin button on the top right corner of the FileHold menu bar when
logged onto FileHold using the web browser
This system administration section is only available to users designated
as system administrators. Non-administrator users will not see the above
links to the administration section. The different areas of the system
administration section will appear in the tree menu on the left hand side.

System administrators create and manage user accounts, FileHold
supports two types of user accounts:
- Locally Managed User Accounts - are user accounts
that are added directly to FileHold and are independent of any type
of directory server (including Active Directory).
- Domain User Accounts – are user accounts in
FileHold that are synchronized with a 3rd party Directory Server (most
typically Microsoft Active Directory) and would definitely require the
support of the organizations IT department.
System administrators also create security groups which
are typically users that work together and require a specific type of
access permissions to the FileHold repository. These groups are used for
both system permissions and membership of the Library hierarchy at the
Cabinet, Folder and Metadata schema level. By the end of this guide you
will have a thorough understanding of all of these concepts.
