Metus MAM, can work on a server-client based architecture. It is possible to create groups and users having different access levels in Metus MAM. The user, currently logged in the project, can be seen at

the right bottom of the page :

User security settings can be done on desktop-client.

In order to increase the project security, a Project Administrator must be defined. For this purpose, users must be listed before that. The users list can be updated from the main Users and Groups

window, which opens from Project -> Users and Groups. Only the Project Administrator can access this dialog window.

- Add button is for adding a new user or group;

- Remove button – press it to delete the selected user(s) or group(s),

- Properties – changes the properties of a user or group. (name , password , etc.)

The project administrator is usually only one person. There cannot be more than one administrator for one project. After opening the project for the first time, the current user, who created, is the just one

has access. And as there are still no users defined, this user is automatically considered as Anonymous. Still he is the only one working with the project; therefore he is Administrator.

The Project Administrator is specified from one place only:

Project -> Properties -> Security -> Project Administrator field by clicking Change button . And at the opening window you can select the administrator user from the users list .

Project Administrator is the only one privileged to browse in the security settings and to apply changes there.
