The Admin Tab lets you perform a variety of system control and administrative functions, including adding new users to the system, assigning user roles and privileges, assigning role-based access to UI functions, creating access control lists (ACLs), managing servers, creating cloud budgets, setting up email and iPhone notifications for system events, and adding custom commands to evaluate system processes and properties that users can execute via the Manage tab.

Note that the Admin tab provides features for configuring the actual product. If you wish to change your account information (i.e., login email, password, contact info, credit card used for monthly subscription, etc.), manage administrators who have access to your organization, or create new organizations, then click on the user icon in the upper right hand corner of your screen, or go to our main website at www.scalextreme.com and click on “My Account”. This will take you to your main account page where you can manage all this information.

Roles

ScaleXtreme has a very sophisticated access control infrastructure, and for now, we are exposing three distinct roles within the system that are built on this access control. These roles are:

• Admin: Can perform all functions in the system, including adding new users
• Architect: Can perform most functions in the system, except they cannot add new users
• Operator: Can perform some functions in the system

Users

Clicking on the Users icon opens a list of all users who have permissions to manage servers for the organization. If you wish to invite additional users, click on "Invite Users" and send an invitation to the person you wish to join your organization and help manage your servers.

ACL

This is advanced functionality and most users should ignore this for now.

Node Groups

This is advanced functionality and most users should ignore this for now.

Servers

Clicking on the Servers icon brings up a list of all servers currently linked to your account and under ScaleXtreme management as a result of installing our software agent.

Clicking on the name of a server in the list brings up an information window for that particular server:

You can then perform the following server management functions:

• Assign to Node Group: This is advanced functionality and most users should ignore this for now.
• Edit: Will allow you to edit any information that you added to the server information, such as a new attribute name and value. However, you cannot edit any pre-built information (such as the OS Name) since those are pre-determined and automatically created by the product when the machine is added.
• Delete: This will delete the server from the product. Important note is that this does not delete the actual machine or uninstall the agent software from the machine. All it does is removes this machine from showing up. If you want this machine to be managed from ScaleXtreme again, you need to go and re-install the agent again. This can be done through “Software Downloads”. Note that after you have deleted a machine from the product, login to the machine and uninstall the ScaleXtreme rpm (on Linux) or msi (for Windows).
