| Status | Status allows you to control the user’s account and access |
|
| to the installation, as follows: |
Disable Account lets you suspend a user’s account without actually deleting it, so that it can be easily reinstated in the future.
If you don’t want to limit the time scope of the account, select Account never expires; if you do want to limit the amount of time that the account remains in effect, select Account expires on, and key in the expiration date.
To require a user to change his password at the next logon, select User must change password at next logon. This can be used by the administrator to give the user a temporary password to log in for the first time, and then let the user set the password of his choice for future logins.
To make a password permanent, so that the user cannot change it to something else, select User cannot change password.
For security purposes, administrators may want users to change their passwords from time to time.
If not, select Password never expires. This allows users to keep their current passwords for as long as they like.
If so, select Password expires after, and key in the number of days allowed before the password expires. Once the time is up, a new password must be set.
4.At this point you can assign the new user to a group by selecting the Groups tab – the Groups page is discussed on page 137. You can also assign the user’s port access rights by selecting the Devices tab – the Devices page is discussed on page 141.
Note: Optionally, you can skip this step now to add more users and create groups, and come back to it later.
5.When your selections have been made click Save.
6.When the Operation Succeeded message appears, click OK.
