There are various aspects of administration. This is mostly related to testing links.

Running default-install -all
should set everything up
correctly. There are various variations on this command which do
different things, but the summary is
Using this command it is also possible to activate users and groups
e.g. default-install -user username
or
default-install -group groupname
in which case the specified
users will become a member of the lcntusr group.

User administration is really only needed if you are running link testing centrally for your users. This makes sense since it means that if several users have a link to the same place (likely in any given site) then you will only have to check that link once.
In this case, the important question is which links are copied into the
checking database. This is controlled by the program
copy-links-from-users
and decides copies data from users which
are in the lnkusr
group.
The command default-install
can be used to manipulate which
users are in the group e.g. default-install -user username
or
default-install -group groupname
in which case the specified
users will become a member of the lcntusr group.
Another form of user administration is limitation on which users have access to the database. This can be done with normal file permissions. There isn't any specific control to stop users from seeing which links other users have put into the database.

In order to be effective, link testing should be done every day. Furthermore, it is a good idea to do the testing at low usage times, which normally means at night. For this reason normally a cron script will be used.
copy-links-from-users
extract-links --in-url-list
build-schedule
test-link
The other thing which is done is to remove old links from the database. This only needs to be done weekly.
The program default-install
can create these scripts.
