Getting Started as a Super Administrator – Distributed

A Destiny distributed installation lets you install and manage multiple Destiny members, or sites, from a single point. Each member of a distributed installation is completely autonomous; that is, one site cannot interact with another site. The only point of contact between members is through the Super Administrator.

Set up installation

After logging in as a Super Administrator, click Setup in the upper corner. The Update Destiny Installation page shows the following sub-tabs:

  • Members
  • Notifications
  • Options
  • Reports
  • Job Manager

The Members sub-tab contains the options you will need to configure your installation.

Edit installation

You can change your installation’s name (by default, My Destiny), change the Super Administrator’s password, and add an image to the Welcome page.

  1. Select the Update Destiny Installation > Members sub-tab.
  2. Click the Edit icon at the top of the tab.

    Edit installation page.

  3. Make your changes on the Edit [installation name] page.
  4. Click Save when you are done.
Note: Remember to save the Super Administrator’s password in a secure location.

Organize installation

If your installation contains several members, you may want to organize them into groups:

  1. To add a new group, click the Add a Group icon, Add a Group, at the top of the Members sub-tab of the Update Destiny Installation page.
  2. On the Add Group page that appears, enter a unique name for the group
  3. In the Sort Order field, set the order in which the group appears on the Welcome page. For example, a group set to 1 will appear at the top of the Welcome page.
  4. Click Save when you are done.

You are now ready to add members to your installation.
