AdministrationToolFunctions
Theadministration tool has three main functions:
- Creating new semantic networks
- Configurating single semantic networks
- Administrating allsemantic networks of one mediator

Asemantic network has to possessavalidlicense for the knowledge
builder and the softwarecomponents to be able to work withit (the admin tool doesn‘t need one
though)

You can only install one release statecomponent atatime.

Licenses
Asemantic networkneeds avalidlicense
key sothattheknowledge builder andother components can
work withit.
4545
Admin-Tool
Licenses
Statuscontains the current state ofthe license.If it is invalid,it also
contains the reason,e.g.itisexpiredormore users thanspecified are
registered.
Costumer has the customer‘s name init,sometimes their address or
company.
Componentsdetails the licensebyrestrictingthenetworkversion
(version),settinganupper limit forthe number of users with admin
access rights (maxAdminUsers)andsettinganupper limit for userswithout admin access rights
(maxUsers).
4646
Admin-Tool
Licenses
Validfor volumes lists allnetworksthis license is validfor.
Validuntil has the date until whichthe license is validfor.
Validfor servers has alist of every IP-address and port number amediator
can be reached with from thenetwork.
Add/Renew loads anew license key ([Lizenzname].key)
Partnercontains the name of thepartner that facilitated this network.
Thefields Partner,validuntil,validforvolumes and validforservers are allowed
to be empty.

Admin-Tool
User
Everyregistereduser has ausername (User),anobject they are
possibly connected with inthenetwork (Associatedwith),their
current state (Status),their lastlogininto the network (Logintimestamp)
and the password encoding(Passwordtype).
Sorting by column is possible with aclick onaspecific column.
Status specifically defines if the userhas admin rights (and inthat case,ifthey possess apassword)and if theyare currently accessing the network.

User
Associate and drop association can notbe accessedinthe admin tool.Goto User inthe semantic
network instead.
Create createsanewuserwithausername(obligatory)andpassword(optional).Nocharacter
restriction.
Changepassword changes the selected user‘spassword.
Logout kicksthe selected user from the semanticnetwork,if they are currently using it.Theuser can
loginagain afterwards.
Delete deletes the selected user.Atleastone userwith admin rights needs to remain.
4949
Admin-Tool
UserRename allows the username to be changed.
Message sends amessage to the selected user.They willseethe message while working inside the knowledge builder or
when they login.
Administrator gives or takes adiministrationaccess rightsto/from auser.Prerequisite is apassword.
Private gives auser whoisnotinpossessionofthemediatorpasswordaccesstospecificfunctionslikecreatebackup,copy,garbagecollectionordeletevolumewhichusually

Thefields Administrators,Userand Active contain thenumber of these specific usergroups.
