Only the user name and password fields are required; however, you should specify a user e-mail address if you intend to set up disk quotas. Without an e-mail address, the user will not be warned when disk usage approaches the specified disk quota limit. If you do not wish to assign a disk quota, enter 0.

If you wish to add a large number of users, select Import user list from the pull-down menu.

Here, you can upload a CSV (Comma Separated Value) formatted file containing the user account information. The format of the file is:

name1,password1,group1,email1,uid1,quota1

name2,password2,group2,email2,uid2,quota2

name3,password3,group3,email3,uid3,quota3

Spaces around commas are ignored.

The name and password fields are required.

If a listed group account does not exist, it is automatically created.

Group and quota are set to the defaults if not specified.

E-mail notification is not sent to the user if the field is omitted or left blank.

UID is automatically generated if not specified.

Empty fields are replaced with account defaults.

Examples of acceptable formats are as follows (note that you can omit follow-on commas and fields if you wish to accept the system defaults for those fields, or you can leave the fields empty):

fred,hello123

In this example, user fred has a password set to hello123, belongs to the default group, receives no e-mail notification, has a UID assigned automatically, and has a default quota.
