Manual for administrators

This manual is for users in the role of administrator who set up and look after camindo CMS: the structure of the contents, websites and languages, users and rights, media processing and the transfer of structures. Installation, updates and server operation (chapters 1 and 12) are usually the task of the system administrator.
