Information tab
Configuring individual user accounts using the New User
Object window
The New User Object window contains three tabs: User Information, User
Password, and Member Information. Use these tabs to create and modify user
accounts and user groups.
Tip: You may find it more convenient to create user groups before creating
individual user accounts. That way, as you set up your user accounts you will be
able to assign them to a group at the same time.
When you create a new user account or modify an existing user account, the
User Information window appears. This window contains three tabs that are
used to enter information about a user.
The User Information tab is used to enter descriptive information about a user.
Follow the steps below.
1 In the Username field, type the name the user will enter when he or she
requests a connection that requires authentication. This entry can consist of
up to 16 alphanumeric characters (upper or lower case) but must start with
an alphabetic character. Apostrophes are not allowed (for example,
O’Hare).
2 [Optional] In the Description field, type any information about the user that
may be helpful.
3 [Optional] In the Employee ID field, type an employee ID number, if
applicable.
4 [Optional] In the Organization field, type the organization that the user is
associated with, if applicable.
