Using Computer Login Settings

Computer login settings allow you to choose how users log in, what messages they see, and
what panel names look like.

Choosing How Users Log In

from a list. If you decide to use a list for login, the list can contain up to 2000 users. You can
choose not to display administrators in that list.
