1.2. Getting started
To start AMS first open the IMDI browser via http://corpus1.mpi.nl/. Browse to the corpus node for which you want to create or revoke a rule. Right click that node and select in the context menu. You will subsequently be asked to enter a username and password. After entering these you will see the Node Authorization Overview (see Figure 1.2).
Beneath the welcome text you find the AMS menu bar containing the menu headings
User Management
Node Authorization
My Account
?
Beneath the menu bar some information about the selected node is displayed:
The name and title of the currently selected node (in this case "LAMS Demo" / "Lams Demo Title").
All active rules for this node and its parent, grandparent and other ancestors, in bottom-up order (here "LAMS Demo" and its parent "Demo". For each rule the user/group and the granted permissions are shown.
From this point you can create or edit users and groups of users (more about user management in Chapter 2) or you can create or edit access rules (more about rules in Chapter 3).
