Access to Coconut is no longer in server properties. Anyone with a registrant property of "Administrator" or "Operator" can log into coconut.

(note 'operator' is not set as a property yet)
When viewing a registrant, only the most recent 5 events are shown. The full list can be exposed using the '+' button on the right side of that panel, and collapsed again using '-'

KNOWN ISSUES

The search results are no longer in alphabetical order. I'll fix that one quickly.
No pagination in Browse (or subsearch filtering)
