That these options were available, it is necessary to add to the configuration file at least one administrator. For its adding enter the addaccount ""name"" ""password"" command into a server window. For example, when adding by the administrator of the user Ivan and a task to it password pass12345 the command will have an appearance of addaccount Ivan pass12345. The server will give the report that the administrator is added. After that switch off the server the shutdown command.

<acl>
...
<group name= "" Admin"">
<acl name= "" Admin""/>
...
<object name= "" user.Ivan""/>
</group>
...
</acl>
