Under: "Add a root taxon name to your table," I created the root record in the taxon_name table successfully:
insert into taxon_names (name, l, r, creator_id, updator_id) values ('root', 1, 2, 1, 1);
However, no taxa show up in the web interface of the database so I can't add new real taxa because there is no existing parent for the new taxa to be children off.
set "editable taxon names" in /admin
The level at which a user can edit the taxonomic name heirarchy (not OTUs!) can be set on the admin tab. Assign the 'root' taxon to admin, enter a couple of names, and then assign those children to your various users.
