13.1 Viewing and definitions of user accounts
Domain
Use the Domain option to select a domain for which user accounts as well as other parameters will be defined. This item provides a list of mapped Active Directory domains (see chapter 13.4) and the local (internal) user database.
Search
The Search engine can be used to filter out user accounts meeting specified criteria. The searching is interactive — each symbol typed or deleted defines the string which is evaluated immediately and all accounts including the string in either Name, Full name or Description are viewed. The icon next to the entry can be clicked to clear the filtering string and display all user accounts in the selected domain (if the Search entry is blank, the icon is hidden).
The searching is helpful especially when the domain includes too many accounts which might make it difficult to look up particular items.
Hiding / showing disabled accounts
It is possible to disable accounts in WinRoute. Check the Hide disabled user accounts to show only active (enabled) accounts.
Account template
Parameters shared by the most accounts can be defined by a template. Templates simplify administration of user accounts — shared parameters are set just once, when defining the template. It is also possible to configure some accounts (such as administrator accounts) separately, without using the template.
Templates apply to specific domains (or to the local user database). Each template includes parameters of user rights, data transfer quota and rules for content rules (for detailed description of all these parameters, refer to chapter 13.2).
Local user accounts
If the Local user database is selected in the Domain item, user accounts in WinRoute are listed (complete information on these accounts are stored in the WinRoute configuration database). The following options are available for accounts in the local database:
Add, Edit, Remove
Click Add, Edit or Remove to create, modify or delete local user accounts (for de- tails, see chapter 13.2). It is also possible to select more than one account by using the Ctrl and Shift keys to perform mass changes of parameters for all selected accounts.
Importing accounts from a domain
Accounts can be imported to the local database from the Windows NT domain or from Active Directory. Actually, this process includes automatic copying of do- main accounts (account authenticating at the particular domain) to newly created
