I forgott something.

To add a user like the above example is for the global admin.

admins: cyrus, robbie at fitstar.com.au

If login as robbie at fitstar.com.au robbie is the admin of fitstar.com.au 
and to add a user since he is not the GLOBAL admin, you add a user like 
cm user.order OR cm user/order depending on imapd.conf.

Sorry for the doubble answer.
