How can I authorize another user to have access ControlPoint?

Hi Warren,

You can give access to another user by assigning them the following permissions -

In order to access and utilize ControlPoint, an account should have some level of permissions to the ControlPoint Configuration Site and SharePoint as well.

Steps –

1.   Navigate to the ControlPoint Configuration Site > Site Settings > People and Groups > Select ControlPoint Application Administrators group > Add the user

2.   Navigate to Central Administration > Security > Manage the farm administrators group >add user

3.   Once the group has been updated, recycle the ControlPoint application pool in IIS Manager.

My web pages don't look like what you've described (we are on release 5.4.1631.0). I can get to ControlPoint Settings, but then I do not see Site Settings nor People and Groups

Hi Warren,

First you have to navigate to the ControlPoint Configuration Site also known as the root site. You can get there by going to http://<servername>:1818 or by going the ControlPoint application page > Select "Manage" > then select " ControlPoint Configuration Site".

Once you're at the ControlPoint Configuration Site, you'll selecting "Site Settings" and then People and Groups.

Kind Regards

Hi Warren,

You may access the ControlPoint Configuration Site by doing any of the following:

• Launch the ControlPoint application, click Manage, expand ControlPoint Configuration and select ControlPoint Configuration Site.
• Open a browser and enter the ControlPoint Configuration Site URL (e.g. http://servername:1818)

I hope this helps.

Regards,
