Create FocalScope Accounts for New User

1. In the Administration screen, expand the [User Access Control] node on the left pane and select the [Users] folder.


2. Right click anywhere in the right pane and select [New...].

Once the "User Properties" dialog loads, under the [General] tab, you can specify the appropriate information for the user [Name:], [Description] & [Password:] fields. You can create as many user accounts as required and users will use the credentials entered on this page, to log into your FocalScope environment.

Under the [Profile] tab, you can specify which private folders the user will be given in their workspace.

Under the [Member Of] tab, you can specify the security group(s) that the new user will be a member of. Members of a group will inherit the access rights of the group(s). Click on the [Add] button to select an existing security group for this user. An example of different groups would be administrators and departmental users, administrators have greater access to the system.

Make your group selection for this user's account in the "Select User(s)" page. You can add multiple groups by holding down the Ctrl key and left clicking the groups you want.

Click [OK] to add the group privileges to this user's account.

Your successfully created user accounts will show up in the right hand pane of the Administrator screen. To reset the password for an account, right on the user in this list, then select [Set Password...] to override old password.

Now that you have created some user accounts, go to the next lesson to learn how to Create Personal Email Accounts for users, so they can send and receive emails in FocalScope.
