POSTFIXADMIN.txt

---------------------------------------
  The different parts of PostfixAdmin


Postfix Admin has a concept of a "global" administrator (think 'root') and 
domain administrators.  When you install PostfixAdmin, the setup.php file 
will ask you to create the global administrators account. Using this global
account, you can (if you so wish) create domain administrators who are 
limited to making changes within the domains you specify for them.

Historically when you logged in as the 'global' (or superadmin) user, you'd
access /admin; with version 2.2.0, this 'functionality' was removed (as there
was excessive code duplication) and everyone uses the same login.php script.


Needless to say, as a global administrator, you can do all kinds of bad things -
like deleting domains and stopping delivery of mail to a particular mailbox. So
- take care, and if you're unsure take semi-regular backups.


If you login, and you are not an administrator (i.e. you are a 'regular' user
who just has a mailbox on the server), then you will only see functionality to 
modify your own account - e.g. change password, edit forward records and specify 
whether you are on vacation (out of office) or not.
