Where is this accessible? Currently there are two ways to add users though a third is planned: (1) Start the notebook like this: sage: notebook(..., accounts=True) then just like at http://sagenb.com on the lower right there will be a link to create a new account. You can add a bunch of accounts (the email isn't really used, except to send a confirmation message). Create all the accounts you want, then rerun the server with notebook(..., accounts=False) to run the server but without just *anybody* being able to create a new account. (2) From the command line -- this is trickier. If you need this let me know and I'll answer later. We plan to make it so admins have a panel in the notebook to add new users and manage them. It will look much like the "Mange Users" screens in Google Groups. I havne't had time to implement this yet. > Also, I changed the port=443 in Notebook.__init__ , however, SAGE > still started on (non-standard port) 8000.
