This section describes the SMC Users tool set and selected dialog boxes as follows:
For complete descriptions of elements in the Users tool set, refer to the online help.
The SMC Users tool set is shown in the following figure.
The six dialog boxes in the Users tool set are:
Administrative Roles dialog box - Used to create or edit a role account and assign users to roles. Note that the roles data is the same as the user data except that:
There is no Roles tab since roles cannot be assigned to other roles.
There is no Password Options tab because these are not appropriate for roles.
The Roles dialog box has a Users tab for assigning users to the role.
Groups dialog box - Used to create or edit user groups and change the members in the group.
Mailing Lists dialog box - Used to create or edit mail aliases, including changing the recipients in the list.
Rights dialog box - Used to create or edit a rights profile. See "Right Properties Dialog Box" for an example of the Rights Properties dialog box and a description of the rights profile data.
User Accounts dialog box - Used to add new users singly or in a batch, with or without a template, and lets you edit the properties of existing users. See "User Properties Dialog Box" for an example of the User Properties dialog box and a description of the user data.
User Templates dialog box - Used to create a named set of user properties that can be applied to new users to facilitate data entry.
