•Last name followed by first initial (doej for Jane Doe)

Guidelines must be in place for instances when two users have the same initials or name. For example, a number can be added to the end of the username (jdoe1 and jdoe2).

Other conventions can be applied. Just ensure that conventions are both systematic and consistent.

5.3.2.Managing Group Names

Group management follows many of the same principles as user management.

It is recommended that group naming conventions be systematic and easy to understand. Make the group name convey some logical information about the function or purpose of the group. The following table provides examples of group names.

Group Name Description

Administrators Users

Power users

All designated administrators on the server All standard server users

All standard server users requiring advanced access levels

Using tags is a helpful convention that indicates the specific access that a particular user has to a network resource. For example, if there is a data share on the device, the network administrator can create a “Data Users ROnly” group and a “Data Users RWrite” group to contain users that have read only or read write access on the share, respectively.

5.4.Workgroup User & Group Management

•Managing local users

•Managing local groups

User and group administrative tasks include adding, deleting, and modifying user and group information. Managing local users and managing local groups.
