Adding users and communities
TODOThe documentation so far has assumed that the application has run in its default configuration, with:
- 1 user: Admin, infinite_default@ikanow.com
- 1 data community: the system community
- (plus the Admin user's personal community that is used to store temporary alias settings, saved widget configurations, etc)
In practice Infinit.e is a multi-user application that also allows multiple "communities", allowing for separation of data, aliases, custom jobs, access controls etc.
Creating new users can be performed from the Person Manager GUI.
Creating new communities can be performed from the Community Manager GUI.
A few points to note:
- After a community is created, only the owner is initially added. Other users can be added (or removed) by selecting the "Add New Members" (or "Edit/Remove Members") at the bottom of the right pane for the selected community.
- For users to be able to add new sources, they must either be system administrators, or be added as "Content Publisher" or better in their community role (right hand pane after selecting a user from the "Edit/Remove Members" page).
- (In secure mode, see below, users must be administrators to create new sources)

The secure mode of Infinit.e that is needed to guarantee system security in multi-user environments is not enabled by default. Check here for more details. |
Updating the software
There are two separate components installed on the Amazon image:
...
To update the core platform, SSH into the instance and then follow the instructions provided here. There are monthly releases (though you certainly do not have to upgrade that often), described here.
There is currently not an automated way to upgrade the additional components. Should patches be required, we will update the Amazon image and also provide instructions to existing customers on how to obtain the latest binaries and update their existing images.
