Users management

In the users side of the User Manager, click in the users table and buttons below to perform various Windows user management tasks. You can review, add, and delete users, and change passwords. You can also drag and drop users into groups.

Review user

Double-click any existing user in the User Manager for a Details dialog, as shown in Figure 104.

This displays the user’s account name, comment, and group memberships (including domain groups).

Add user

Click the New User button in the User Manager for a New User dialog, as shown in Figure 105.

In this dialog you must type a user name and password (text in both password fields must match). You can also type a comment, typically a full user name or description. Click in the groups checklist to designate which groups the new user should have membership.

When you click OK, the new user is added and appears in the user table.

Delete user

In the User Manager, click to select one or more users (press Ctrl and click to select multiples). Then click the Delete User button for a confirmation dialog, as shown in Figure 106.

When you click OK, the selected user(s) is deleted and removed from the user table.

Change user password

In the User Manager, click to select a user, then click the Change Password button for a popup dialog (Figure 107).

You must type the current user’s password, then the new password twice (text in both new password fields must match). When you click OK, the password for that user is changed to your new password.

Drag and drop

In the User Manager, you can “drag and drop” rows from the users table on top of a row in the groups table. This adds the selected user(s) to the target group, without any popup dialog.

Or, if a single group is already selected, you can drag and drop user rows into the lower membership table for that group. This adds the selected user(s) to that group, and updates the membership table.
