To allow people on your network to access the NetWinder, you will need to create accounts for them. If required, you may also want to organize users with similar needs into user groups.

User Accounts

Each person who wants to use the NetWinder for file server access, discussion groups, InfoPlace or e-mail will need a user account. A user account allows people to identify themselves to the NetWinder.

To add a user or change a user's information, you need to visit the Users page from the NetWinder Administration page. It looks like this:

Creating Users

To create a new user, click Add a new user at the bottom of the Users page. You'll see a page that looks like this:

Fill in this form to create the user account. This is the information you need to provide:

Click the Save button once you've entered all the information.

Editing and Removing Users

You can change an existing user's settings or remove the user from the system in much the same way as you create a new user.

From the Users page, find the user you want to edit or remove, and then click the word Edit or Remove that appears next to the user's name. If you use Edit, you will be sent to the same screen that you saw in the Creating Users section. If you use Remove, you will first be asked to confirm the change, and then the user account will be deleted.
