Once server setup is complete, you can variably assign server, site, subsite, and customer admin rights.
At installation CommonSpot assigns all rights to the default user admin-commonspot and group CPAdmin. You can add other users or groups to the CPAdmin group as appropriate.
Important Note: Until or unless you create a group with equivalent privileges, do not delete CPAdmin. Deleting CPAdmin will disable application-level access to CommonSpot Server Administration. If you inadvertently delete this group from CommonSpot, you can directly manipulate the related database: create the appropriate records in the SiteSecurity table for site ID 0 to manually add users or groups with CommonSpot server-level permissions.
Server Administration is the highest level of access. The first server-level administrator owns a full set of permissions, granted through the Add Server Permissions dialog.
