Change root password

The first thing to do in a new RT installation is to change the database root user password. The default password is 'password' and provided this user has all rights in the database, we need to change this.

Log in the web interface of RT and click on the home page in 'preferences'

Click then in 'About me'

and enter your new password twice in the 'Password' fields 'New Password' and 'Retype Password' and click on 'Save

Preferences' on the right bottom corner.

Grant the database root user superuser rights to Asset Tracker

First, let's grant the superuser (root) of the database also rights to the assets. Standard it has no rights to the assets table.

  • we go to 'Configuration' (image 1)
  • we click on 'Global' (image 2)
  • click on 'At User Rights' (image 3)
  • we see that the only user in the system is 'root' (this is a new installation, remember?). This user has 'no rights granted'.
  • To make it superuser of AT, we select the field 'SuperUser' from 'New Rights' and click on 'Modify User rights' (image 4).
  • After that, we see the result: the rights have been granted (image 5)

Create some custom fields

  • click on the 'configuration' link (image 1)
  • click on 'Custom Fields' (image 2, you may choose any of the two links)
  • click on 'Create' (image 3).
  • on the next page, fill in the form with the data necessary for a custom field. In the example, I have made one for serial numbers. On the name field I entered 'serialnumber', as description 'serial number of asset', the type is 'enter one value' (serial numbers are unique), I chose 'Assets' in the field 'Applies to' and made it mandatory by choosing the right option in 'validation'. The box 'enabled' is marked on by default, if in the future you no longer need this custom field you uncheck it and it will not show in the asset (image 4).
  • when you are done with this custom field, click on 'save changes'. If you need more custom fields, repeat the process.
