After the initial set up of the platform by the s-admin, it is the p-admin’s turn to begin to take control. At this point, no one can put content on the platform, not even the p-admin himself.

First, the p-admin must determine the "house rules“ (Which groups are there and who is permitted to read/create content?) and distribute the access keys to the users (i.e. assign users to different groups). Afterwards, the p-admin arranges the organization of the house (i.e. the organisation of content on the platform), by creating folders and texts accessible to certain groups.

The tasks and responsibilities of the p-admin are described in detail in the p-admin manual.

A future platform administrator has to register like all normal users. Afterwards, the s-admin of the new platform can define users as p-admins.
