Hi Leon

I guess you logged in as user admin who belongs to group:
administrator,colbuilder. If you want the user have permission to access
all collections, *all-collections-editor *needs to be added into user's
group from the Authentication page. The detailed information about
Authentication can be found at
http://wiki.greenstone.org/wiki/index.php/Remote_Greenstone#Authentication.

Regards
Quan
