-== Managing additional users ==
+== Enabling full administrative access ==
 
-=== Giving users "Red Dot" ===
-
-Red Dot allows a user to enter administrative mode on the web interface.  Once this field is set, the user will have a green dot next to the "Contact Us" item near the top middle of every page.  Clicking this dot will toggle it to red causing administrative features on the web interface to be exposed.
+By default, the first testbed user does not have access to boss.  The script '''tbadmin''' will give this user (or any other), full administrative access to the testbed.

-=== Shell on Boss ===
-
-Testbed users are by default not allowed to log into boss.  They have no password set and their shell is set to a dummy shell.  
-
-This command will grab the password hash for the user out of the database and set a real shell.  
-
-{{{
-echo 'select usr_pswd from users where uid="<username>"' | mysql -N tbdb | pw user mod <username> -H 0 -s /usr/local/bin/bash
-}}}
-
-By default, users do not have /usr/testbed/sbin in their path.  Add this in depending on your shell.
-
-=== Working with UNIX groups (mostly for sudo) ===
-
-By default, sudo comes configured to allow anyone in the group '''wheel''' to sudo.
-
-It is important that adding users to new UNIX groups be done through the testbed software, since /etc/group is regularly overwritten when new users are added to the testbed.  So to add a user to wheel, we need to run:
-
-{{{
-withadminprivs unixgroups -a <username> wheel
-}}}
-
-Make sure /usr/testbed/sbin is '''in your path.'''
