Adding a new FMS Admin Group to a File Store

The reason the editors can't see the contents of the FMS is because they do not have permissions to do so.

If you want granular permissions against the FMS folders, you can set up the permissions against each folder in each File Store. Click on the appropriate FMS folder and then click the Permissions tab.

If you just want to give users full access to the FMS, there's a couple of ways you can approach this.

1. Create a new group called "FMS Administrators" and assign all the relevant users to this group

2. Open the "fms_config.xml" file, and add the relevant Group(s) to the <admingroups> node (see below)

The fms_config.xml file

The fms_config.xml file determines, among other things, which Groups are FMS administrators by default. You'll see that within each File Store there is an <admingroups> node. This is the reason ShadoMX know what to do with members of the FMS Administrators group (see option 1 above).

If you have an existing group that should have Admin access to the FMS you can simply add the group name in to the xml file.

Where to find the file?

Go to: [your webroot]\[your sitename\app_config\apps\fms\fms_config.xml

Edit the 'admingroups' node. Separate groups with a comma.

eg in the 'admingroups' node, add 'FMS Administrators,Administrators,Site Editors'

For future builds of the FMS, we will build User Interfaces for these types of config features.
