Figure 6 Selecting User Accounts

To return the criteria in the User Account Selection Criteria frame to their default values, click on Reset. If you do not clear or reset the previous choices, they remain in effect to be used in a subsequent query. You can omit an individual selection criterion from subsequent queries by turning off its associated checkbox.

Assigning Users to Groups

When you create a user account, you can assign the user to from one to four logical categories called groups. You can select from existing groups, which are displayed in a list box. To create a new group, see Section : Creating Groups.

The Administration utility allows you to select from groups with a group identifier (GID) of 15 or greater that are defined on the local system. The utility also creates an IASS_Usr group with a GID of 1000 (or the next available GID above 1000), and assigns all captive users to this group. You can select captive accounts (for modification or deletion) by using the IASS_Usr group as a selection criterion.

Note:

If the group Lkr_Usr_ exists from a previously installed version of Internet Express, then the IASS_Usr group is not created and Lkr_Usr_ is used instead.

There is a limit to the number of users you can assign to a given group and to the length of a group name. See the Tru64 UNIX System Administration manual for more information on these limits.

The forms to create user accounts contain a list box that you can use to select from among the existing groups on your system. To select multiple groups, click on up to four groups in the list box. Optionally, you can also associate a Tru64 UNIX user account with up to four additional secondary groups by selecting more than one group from the list box. (If you select more than four groups, the user is assigned to only the first four groups, starting at the top of the list.)
