All Administrators have been removed and no-one can use the administration tools

If all Secure Global Desktop Administrators have been removed, no-one can use Array Manager, Object Manager or the command-line tools.

If there are no Secure Global Desktop Administrators defined (no users have the Global Administrators role) then the user with TFN name .../_user/root (corresponding to the UNIX root user) is given administration privileges and they can create new Administrators. To do this:

1. Log in as root on the host where Secure Global Desktop is installed.
2. Stop the Secure Global Desktop server by running tarantella stop.
3. Start Object Manager by running tarantella objectmanager.
4. Either create a new user or use an existing user and add them as a Secure Global Desktop Administrator.
5. Make sure the new Administrator is someone who can be authenticated against the login authorities you are using.
6. Exit Object Manager.
7. Restart the Secure Global Desktop server by running tarantella start.

The new Administrator can now use the Secure Global Desktop administration tools.
