To Add a User Account

1. Assume the System Administrator role and go to an ADMIN_LOW workspace.

2. Bring up the SMC in the desired scope and click the Users tool. Supply a password when prompted.

3. Double-click User Accounts.

   All configured users are displayed as icons labeled with their usernames.

4. Choose one of the following from the Action menu:

   • Add User->With Wizard

   • Add User->From Template

     To use the From Template option, you need to first create a template. See "To Create a User Template" for the procedure.

   Depending on whether you use the Wizard or Template method, some fields will not be available.

5. Enter the user's name and ID.

   User names and UIDs must be unique to ensure traceability of activities back to a single identified user. Therefore, each user name and UID should not be duplicated anywhere on the network, and should not be reused during the life of the system.

6. Enter a description.

   The description will appear in the user's email From field. For example,

   From: Bar Bar -- Useful Worker

7. Continue to create the user, referring to the online help when necessary.
