Create an iRedMail Domain Admin

To allow an account to administrator a specific or group of domains. Firstly create the user as normal. As an example we'll create a user called [email protected]. Once the user has been created:

Open Database

Open SQL CLI into vmail database.

mysql -pMyLongandComplexSQLPassword vmail

Set user as Admin

Set the isadmin parameter for the required user.

Changing the isadmin to 0 would mean the user can no longer administer domains even though the user is still listed in the domain_admins table.

update mailbox set isadmin=1 where username='[email protected]';

Define which domains can be administed

Set the user as a domain admin.

insert into domain_admins (username, domain, created) values('[email protected]', 'justme.com', now());

Adding multiple entries for the same user for different domains allows the user to manage multiple domains.

insert into domain_admins (username, domain, created) values('[email protected]', 'justme.com', now());
insert into domain_admins (username, domain, created) values('[email protected]', 'another.com', now());

The user [email protected] can now administer accounts in the domains justme.com and another.com.

It also means that a user account within one domain can administer another domain.
