Administrator Documents & Videos

Generally, in larger organizations, GRIN-Global (GG) will be installed in a networked environment, in which curatorial and genebank users will have the Curator Tool installed on their PC and will be connected to a remote server holding the organization's database. When this is the case, someone will serve as the administrator of GG and will be responsible for adding users, setting up permissions, etc. The documents in the table below are intended for the GG system administrators. They will use the GG Admin Tool and will need to know how to use its various features.

In smaller organizations, the entire GG software suite may be loaded on a stand-alone user PC. In this case, the PC owner may wear two hats: User and Administrator. The PC will act as a server, and the PC owner will need to set up user accounts, etc. It may be that just one user will need to be set up, but nevertheless this is considered an administrative responsibility, and is handled using the GG Admin Tool, which must be installed on the User's PC.
