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.
