Setting Up the Main Organization
From Main, you can control all of the other Organizations in your Intranet and disable or enable user log-in, submissions, emailing, and other features on a system-wide basis. The following is a list of the steps you need to take to get your first organization up and running.
1. Change your password. Click on My Profile from the box to the left. Then click on Edit Profile, which is below the table. Type a new password and enter the email address that should be used for messages to the administrator. (Just enter your own address for the moment, since this information may be changed at any time.) Click on Front Page in the box to your left to return to this screen.
2. Create a new organization. Click on Manage Organizations in the box at your left. Click Add a new organization. Many of the fields on this form should be left blank. You will enter the name of your organization (e.g., Stanford Law Review), a short name for the organization (e.g., SLR or Stanford, just make sure it is one word and short), and an optional description. If your organization is not a journal (for example, it could instead by a school or an alumni group), change the Organization type from Journal to General. Leave untouched the next five fields. The last options relate to the permissions that administrators of your new organization will have. For example, you can control whether this organization's administrators can add new users to the database (or only add from the roster of users added by you or other organizations that do have permssion) and delete users from the database (which will delete the user from all organizations, rather than just retire the user from this organization). You will probably want to change all of these settings to Yes.
3. Turn on your intranet. Click on Access Controls. Go ahead and change every option to 'enabled' or 'allowed' and enter the email address you set up in the sendmail aliases file to receive email postings (e.g., lists@myintranet.org). After clicking Submit, the screen will not change, but the data will have been updated. This is also the screen from which you can change the picture that appears on the log-in screen and the generic picture that is used for users who have not uploaded pictures of themselves.
4. You're done. Click on Logout in the box at the left. You will be presented with a login screen from which you can select the new organization you have created. Log-in as admin with no password. You can return to the Main organization at any time by entering the URL you use to access the intranet and appending '/Main/' (e.g., http://www.myintranet.org/Main/). The Main organization is not accessible, except after logging out from Main, from the default login screen.
