Administrator Account

Lantern has web-based admin panel to manage web service for administrator.

Set up the Administrator Account

For safety, there is no administrator by default. You have to set up administrator account.

First of all, to make sure you have an account which can be signed in to. If this is first time to start up service with no account, try to use browser to visit the page for getting a new account with third party authorization or creating a new account.

http://<service host>/signin

Once you have an account, you can set account up to be administrator. Lantern has a script which can be used to assign admin permissions to specific account.

node utils/addadmin <email>

Then refresh web page you've already signed in. The Admin Panel item will be out there in user menu.
