How to Operate the Administrator
M:Arthur allows for two types of users: administrators and users.
Administrators are granted administrative privileges. This section describes how to operate as an administrator.
When you install M:Arthur, at least one administrator will be initially registered during the installation process.
The registered administrators will be able to use M:Arthur.
1. Basic Administrator Operations
Administrators can register new users and servers. Once registered, these users and servers can be used in M:Arthur.
Basic administrator tasks can be accessed from the menu bar on the left side of the 【M:Arthur】 screen (called the left menu bar).
Under the 〈Setting〉 section of this menu, you’ll find the 〈Server〉 and 〈User〉 options. Click on these to start managing servers and users.
