Set up for a new regular user¶

A Leginon user set in the adminstration tool defines his/her own preferences once changed from the "adminstrator" user default above. It is also not related to the computer login user. Therefore, it is is necessary to go through the following steps to set up an existing computer user as a new Leginon user:

Add a User From Administration web page¶

• Open a web browser. Go to 'http://yourhost/myamiweb/admin.php'.

• Click on Users.

• Click on Add A New User (Only users in Administrator group can do this if login feature is activated)

• Add a "username" (required) for the user. (This is like a one-word username that people use to log into a computer).

• Enter all required information.

• Add this user to a previously created group. Or, add a new group for this user. (required)

• Click Save.

Get a copy of the configuration files¶

Copy leginon.cfg from an existing user to the home directory of the new user.

Modify leginon.cfg¶

Modify the [user] "Fullname" field in leginon.cfg to correspond the "firstname"+" "+"lastname" fields in the Leginon Administration User Tools.
