When the System Administrator creates a new organization, an Administrator account is also being created. This account is member in the most powerful group in the organization, the organization's Administrator Group. The access rights settings of this group determine the functionalities available to the other groups in the organization.

To create other groups and users in the company, login to the Aegir administrative interface as the organization administrator, e.g. test_admin. All the users must be assigned to a group or groups according to their responsibilities in Midgard CMS.
