Creating

and Editing a User Account

You can create and edit a user account.

Procedure

  1. Right-click User Accounts in the browser tree and click New, or if you are editing an existing user account, double-click the name of the user in the browser tree.

  2. The Edit User Account dialog is displayed. The various aspects of a user account are located on the Login, Groups, Roles, Permissions, Domains and License Policy tabs.

  3. Type the user's Full Name into the field and enter the various details for the account on the tabs. As a minimum on the Login tab, you must specify a Login Name before you can save the new account, and you must decide whether you want to select Derived Access Control mode (see Derived Access Control for more information).

  4. On the Groups tab, specify any groups to which the user account belongs.

  5. If you do not wish to create or edit the options on the other tabs, click the OK button to save the details and leave the Edit User Account dialog, or click the Apply button to save the changes and keep the dialog open.Caution If you selected Derived Access Control mode (the default), you cannot edit the remaining tabs. Those settings are enforced by the groups to which the user account belongs.
