Adding a New User
Use the User Account Administration window... to add a new user account. See the field descriptions for guidelines and rules for the field values.
To add a new user:
-
Select Admin > Users from the Main menu.
-
Enter a unique user name for the account in the User Name field. The user name can only contain alphanumeric characters — special characters and spaces are not allowed.
If the user name entered matches an existing user name, the fields in the rest of the window will be disabled.
- Enter the Name and Contact Information for the user, if desired. These fields are optional.
- Enter the initial password... for the account in the Password and Confirm Password fields.
- By default, passwords will not expire. To set a duration for the password, click the Password Never Expires checkbox to clear the check mark, and enter the number of days for which the password will be valid in the Password Expires... field.
- Select a Privilege Level. See Account Permissions for the definitions of the different user levels.
- In order for the user to login to the system, the User Enabled checkbox must be checked. It is checked by default.
- Click Add to create the user account. You will receive a confirmation message that the account was successfully added.
