Adding, Viewing, Editing, and Deleting Users

This section provides information about using the GUI elements to perform tasks.

Adding New Users

The following instructions cover all that you need to do to load users into your system. The Name field is the only mandatory field. Every other field described in this chapter is optional, depending upon the rules that govern your workplace.

To add new users without assigning attributes or permissions:

1. Select the Show Admin Data option box.

2. Right-click anywhere over the user listings. A menu appears.

3. Select New. The Edit User screen appears.

4. Enter the user’s name in the Name field .

   Warning

   You are allowed to enter and modify the Name field only when you add a new user entry. After adding the new user, you cannot modify the name. To correct a mistyped name, you can delete the user and then reenter him or her as a new user.

5. Enter or select the other fields as required.

6. Select the Add button to save the new user entry.
