System administration rights required to edit Metadata of a Publication? - tridion

I'm using SDL Tridion 2011 SP1 and the documentation states: "Users with system administration privileges can create Publications." but does that also mean that to change the Metadata on a Publication, you need to have system administration privileges?

No, you have a Publication Manager group that has its scope set to all publications, and has set the Publication Management right enabled.
So when you assign a user to this group he or she is able to manage the Publication's metadata. However, the default rights for this group are quite broad so you might consider trimming this down - or setting specific rights for a user or group.

Create another admin user in Influx 2.0

How is it possible to create another admin user in Influx 2.0? Lower versions provide the feature directly on creating with an additional "WITH ALL PRIVILEGES". But for Influx 2.0, I cannot find any clue to add a 2nd or even 3rd admin.
I can create a bunch of non-admin users, but they are, e.g., not able to create/edit tasks and stuff.

Setup access permission to nexus

We have given anonymous user to upload files to nexus repository manager.But it was not a good practice.We need to limit access to each project.Only relevant users should have read access.How can i fulfill this requirement.
Currently we have created two repos lib-release-local and lib-snapshot-local and inside those repos we are managing our projects.In this design how we can implement permission schema.
NXRM3 has a piece called content selectors, which are pretty much designed for what you're describing. Using a query language you can create a privilege which limits what folks can see or do in a certain repository (or format). Then you can assign that privilege to a role and that role a set of users (also removing the ability for them to view *).
See documentation for more. I also advice if you have questions about content selectors and their implementation asking on community.sonatype.com forums where the development team as well as support monitor.

VSTS: What is the cheapest option to run the browser based testing in the VSTS?

We already have 2 Test Manager extension licenses which are assigned to Basic users who develop tests. We need to have an ability to run solely browser based testing in the VSTS by, let's say 10 users.
What is the cheapest option to accomplish that?
Can those users be Stakeholders or they have to have at least Basic access license?
Basic access level is required, so you need to buy basic access license for each user, also Test Manager extension license is required too.
I checked and only the Basic/VS access level is required for the users to be able to test the tests which were authored by somebody else. There is no need Test Extension in order to be able to test.

Where to define a new role?

I need to insert a few new roles in icCube.
The doc mention I can monitor roles in the WEB user interface, but I could not find this option on the menus.
It mention I can also do it by editing the file icCubeRoles.icc-roles. However this file contains two roles: anonymous and standards, while the roles shown in the WEB interface when adding/editing a user are anonymous and standard.
This is a feature available in the Enterprise edition only. If you are using the Community edition and woud like to evaluate this feature please contact icCube directly to request an evaluation license.

TFS Server 2010: Unable to add users

In TFS Server 2010, I tried to add new user in the below path of Team Foundation Server Administrator Console
Application Tier-> Administration Console Users -> Add link
In Add user dialog, I couldn't able to find other users which are in the same LAN.
I'm using Windows Vista. All machines are in same workgroup
Unless you're actually on a domain with an Active Directory to control and "host" your users, you won't find any of them automatically. Users on computers in workgroups are local to those computers and have to be entered manually.
One way to manage this is to create accounts on the TFS Server server and then use those accounts as credentials when connecting from the workstations.
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms252507.aspx is an article which describes working with TFS in a workgroup environment more closely and in detail.
The question How to add new users to TFS 2010 (and answers) should also be some help in how to add users on your server.
Basically,
"Computer Management" -> "Local Users and Groups" -> Users
and add your users. Then,
Go to Team Foundation Server Administration Console
Navigate to your Team Project Collection
Select Group Membership from the General tab
Open Project Collection Valid Users. It should include your Team Projects's groups as members.
Select suitable Team Project group and add your user into that group.
(From the question mentioned above. You should go there and upvote their answers for being good and helpful, too, if this helps you - specifically Bizz' and Kyberias' answers that I quoted here.)
