Configuring individual user accounts using the New User Object
window
The New User Object window contains three tabs:
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.
