Hi Scott

I conclude that your other issue is solved (a post on the mailing list thread 
~"works now, might have been..." would have been nice).

You can give administrator roles with the openvas-administrator.
All it does (for now) is putting a file called "isadmin" in the users 
directory (PREFIX/var/lib/openvas/user/youruser/). You can thus introduce 
administrators manually by placing that file (e.g. "touch 
[/PREFIX]/var/lib/openvas/user/youruser/isadmin").

Otherwise call "openvasad -n youruser -w youpassword --role=Admin" (i might 
have confused something here, call "openvasad --help" to clarify).
