Basic User Setup Options
This section presents the basic activities you perform when configuring a new
user. At its most basic level, configuring a new user requires only three steps, as
follows:
•
Specify a name.
•
Specify either an external user database or a password.
•
Submit the information.
The steps for editing user account settings are essentially identical to those used
when adding a user account but, to edit, you navigate directly to the field or fields
to be changed. You cannot edit the name associated with a user account; to change
a username you must delete the user account and establish another.
What other procedures you perform when setting up new user accounts is a
function both of the complexity of your network and of the granularity of control
you desire.
