Andy,

go here:

  user: rustest
  pass: rustest

Don't be surprised if this account gets wiped sometime in the future, I
recycle this server (my development server) quite often.

I responded on the other forum.  ;)

Yes, at this time (and unlike iManager), the CPX File Manager will give 
the server admin plenty of rope.  That may change in the future.

The domain admin will also be able to view/manipulate files in their own
directory space and the directory heirarchies of any of their endusers
in two different ways.  The first way is by using the domain admin login
and password; a drop down menu is presented in the File Manager which 
allows the domain admin to select a different enduser's home directory to 
view.  Furthermore, the server side file chooser (which typically is 
invoked when asked to select a target for certain actions; copy, move, 
compress, etc) also allows you specify a location in either the domain 
admin's directory or the directory of any of the domain admin's endusers.
Thus it becomes possible to copy/move files from an enduser's home dir to 
the domain admin home dir and vice versa, or from one enduser's home dir 
to another, etc.

The second way a domain admin can access enduser files is by using the
"domainadmin:enduser" login combination (an authentication method that 
has been previouly documented and discussed in this forum).  This only 
allows the domain admin to work in the directory space of the enduser.

cheers.
