[ckan-dev] Authorization Concept

[Ralf]

Hi,

as admin you can add members to the organization within the CKAN GUI.

Just go to the organization page  
/organization/members/<organizationname> and find the membership tab.

I guess there is also a CLI command to add members, see  
http://docs.ckan.org/en/latest/paster.html.
