To Create a User Template

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

2. Bring up the SMC Users tool. If you are using a name service, do this procedure on the name service master.

3. Supply a password when prompted.

4. Click the User Templates tool.

5. Choose Add User Template from the Action menu.

6. Decide on a Login Shell.

   You can assign a profile shell to users by choosing other and then typing in the path to a profile shell: /bin/pfsh, /bin/pfcsh, or /bin/pfksh. While working in a profile shell, an account can execute only those commands that are in the account's set of profiles. See the pfexec(1) man page for descriptions of the profile shells.

   The Bourne, Korn, and C shells allow the account to execute all available commands that do not need to inherit privilege. See the following man pages for more information about the listed shells: csh(1), ksh(1), bash(1), tsh(1), zsh(1).

7. Use the online help to guide you through the General, Group, Home Directory, Sharing, Password Options, and Mail tabs.
