Permissions are managed via System > Administrator accounts.  An administrator can grant himself and others rights, take away those rights and set up new accounts.

This procedure requires an AD/LDAP connection.
  • Domain: Domain in which the AD/LDAP service runs

  • Password: Password of the user

For further details, see: Importing Active Directory users.
