Understanding the iFolder Admin User
The iFolder Admin user is the primary administrator of the iFolder enterprise server. Whenever
iFolders are orphaned, ownership is transferred to the iFolder Admin user for re-assignment to
another user or for deletion. You initially specify the iFolder Admin user during the iFolder
enterprise server configuration in YaST. For information, see
Server," on page
55.
The iFolder Admin user must be provisioned to enable the iFolder Admin to perform management
tasks. iFolder tracks this user by the LDAP object GUID, allowing it to belong to any LDAP context
in the tree, even those that are not identified as search contexts. The user's movement can be tracked
anywhere in the tree because it is known by the GUID, not the user DN.
The iFolder Admin right can be assigned to other users so that they can also manage iFolder services
for the selected server. Use the User page in the Web Admin console to add or remove the iFolder
Admin right for users. Only users who are in one of the contexts specified in the LDAP Search DN
are eligible to be equivalent to the iFolder Admin user.
IMPORTANT: You cannot assign the Admin user right to an LDAPGroup
If you assign the iFolder Admin right to other users, those users are governed by the iFolder user list
and Search DN relationship. The user is removed from the user list and stripped of the iFolder
Admin right if you delete the user, remove the user's context from the list of Search DNs, or move
the user to a context that is not in the Search DNs.

The System page displays the following iFolder Admin details for the iFolder domain.
