The perfect Group-Office setup

When you've got everything working properly a very important step needs to be taken. The setup of the Group-Office environment. This page will give you an example of what we think is the perfect Group-Office setup for companies that want to take full advantage of all Group-Office features for office use.

The administrator account

It's important that you use this account only for administrative purposes. We strongly advise you not to use this account as a regular user for safety and usability reasons.
Basically use the administrator account only for:

1. Adding and editing user accounts
2. Adding and editing user groups
3. Installing/removing modules
4. Creating items that are commonly used for more users such as a global addressbook, a meeting room that can be booked as a resource in the calendar or a corporate HTML template for outgoing e-mail messages.
   It's very important that you do this as an administrator so you will avoid the following scenario:
   User 1 creates an addressbook and a meeting room. This user shares these items with everybody. Everybody uses those items. Now User 1 no longer works at your company. Time to remove the user account. Oops! The resource calendar and his addressbook are gone too!
