TeemIp Documentation for Administrators
As previously stated, TeemIp has been built on top of iTop frame work, the world famous open source ITSM and CMDB solution. As a consequence, administring TeemIp is very similar to administring iTop and TeemIp's administrator manual extensively refers to iTop's administrator manual.
Let's just list here 2 key points related to TeemIp, before listing the links to the different iTop admin subjects.
Licensing
TeemIp is licensed under the terms of the GNU Affero General Public License Version 3 as published by the Free Software Foundation. This gives you legal permission to copy, distribute and/or modify TeemIp under certain conditions. Read the ’license.txt’ file in the TeemIp distribution.

Fresh Installation
As you know, you may install TeemIp as a standalone application or as an iTop extension.
Should you decide to use TeemIp standalone, a few preparation steps will be needed before running the installation wizard.
- Please, refer to iTop's preparation steps: these are the same for TeemIp.
- Once done, follow the standalone installation steps for the standalone version.
Should you decide to enhance iTop with TeemIp extension, you may refer to the IPAM for iTop extension page.
Upgrade
TeemIp upgrade process being the exact same one than iTop upgrade process, please, refer to iTop's How to upgrade page for that operation.
User profiles
Next to the standard user profiles already embedded within iTop, TeemIp brings its own set of profiles:
| Profile | Description | Extension |

| Admin Tools Manager | Has the rights to the Administration menu. Must be combined with another profile | |
| Audit Manager | Has the rights to create and modify Audit rules. Must be combined with another profile | |

| Query Manager | Has the rights to create and modify the Query Phrasebook. Must be combined with another profile | |

And of course, TeemIp alters some of the iTop profiles to grant them access to the specific TeemIp objects:
| Profile | Change |

| Document author | Adds R/W rights on links with IP Objects |
TeemIp Newsroom
Important news related to the TeemIp project are provided to TeemIp administrators through the TeemIp newsroom. This communication channel comes in addition to the one provided by iTop (described here).
When logged as an administrator, the “news” icon will tell you if they are any new messages still unread.
Clicking on the icon will list these messages. Optionally, links will allow you to read all messages already sent by iTop or TeemIp in specific pages.
You may deactivate TeemIp newsroom through the General Configuration file. In the module section, just adds the following lines (if not already present) ans set the 'enabled' parameter to false.
'teemip-newsroom-provider' => array ( 'enabled' => false, ),
