Can not see "manage-addons" option in crowd administration panel

[Makareswar Rout]

Hi All,

Can you help me here .

I am a crowd admin but can not see the "manage add-on option"  in crowd administration page ??

I want to install one plugin called 

SecSign ID Two Factor Auth - Crowd

Hi @Makareswar Rout 

@maguialahmaris right, Crowd does not include an add-on management system.

That's why we created an add-on, called MX Plugin Manager for Crowd, that provide a very similar interface as you can see in jira and most of the JIRA add-on manager.

Of course our Plugin must be installed as described by @maguialahmar but after you get a fully functional Plugin Manager, like in Jira.

Here is the link, you can evaluate it :

Maxinima Plugin Manager for Crowd

Hope it helps!

 I wonder why they didn't implement this in Crowd...

Here is the right installation instructions : 

1. Shut down the Crowd-Server
2. Navigate to the home-folder of the Crowd installation
3. Versions older 3.0 : Copy the .jar file of the plugin in the plugin folder
   Versionen newer than 3.0 : Copy the .jar file of the plugin in the shared\plugins folder
4. Launch the Crowd installation

Please find here more details https://www.secsign.com/developers/atlassian/crowd-2-factor-authentication-tutorial/ . 

 There is no add-on management for Crowd for now (as I know).

Hi @Makareswar Rout, unfortunately, Crowd does not have a plugin manager yet. This is still an open issue : https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CWD-3157

This is why we developped our own plugin, bringing the same feeling as Jira's plugin manager to Crowd.

You can try it, just download the trial version here : https://marketplace.atlassian.com/1219389

Instructions for installing it : https://maxinima.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/MAA/pages/22577168/Install+MX+Plugin+Manager

In case you need any information, you can contact us here : contact@maxinima.com

Thank you

It sounds like you might be a Crowd admin of users, but not an administrator for Crowd.

[Makareswar Rout]

I am crowd admin surely.

[Nic Brough -Adaptavist-]

I don't know.  It sounds like you are not, as you can't get to the add-on pages.

[Makareswar Rout]

Ok.  Not sure how can I confirm if I am not crowd admin.  I am part of corwd-administrator group in internal directory.

Kindly see below screen.

I have the same issue, I don't see the add-on menu.  I'm using 3.2.2.  Any solution?
