Manage User Accounts

Add a New User Account

In the left pane of the Administration Screen, expand the [User Access Control] node and click the [Users] folder to show the User Access Control in the right pane.

Now, you will see on the right pane, a list of users already added. To add a new user, right click anywhere in the right pane, then click [New...].

A "User Properties" popup will appear. There are 5 tabs in the user properties window. Specify general information about this new user in the "General" tab.

[Name:], [Password:] and [Confirmation:] are mandatory fields.

In the [Profile] tab tick the flags for the "private folders" that will be created for the new user's account.

The [Member Of] tab, is where you specify which security group(s) this new user, will be a member of. Members of a group will inherit all access rights of the group(s) they belong to. Click the [Add] button to select the security group(s) you wish to add this user to.

Select from the list, the group(s) this user belongs to. Permissions for security group are pre-defined in Security Groups. To learn how to add security groups, see the lesson Manage Security Groups.

The remaining Asterisk & Jabber tabs, on the "User Properties" page are not applicable at this time, as new user accounts do not need Asterisk & Jabber configurations completed to become active in the system.
