Creating and Managing Users in the Local User Database 271

8In the User Group list, select a user group to assign the user to, if the group is already configured.

You do not need to assign a user to a user group. If you do select a user group, you only need to specify a password for the user. All other attributes are obtained from the user group.

9Do one of the following:

„To configure user attributes, see “Configuring User Authorization Attributes” on page 274.

„To configure a user group, see “Creating Named User Groups”.

„To close the Create User wizard and save the changes, click Finish.

Creating Named User When creating a user group, you define common properties for the Groups group. You can optionally define user attributes, which are stored in the

local database. Attributes defined for an individual user override those attributes defined for a user group.
