This is a set of tools for managing user accounts, user groups, and mailing lists. User templates provide a fast way to add new users who have properties in common. Granting rights allows users to perform administrative tasks. And administrative roles provide another way to grant rights to administrators.

Note: To use these tools in a name service domain, see To Create a Name Service Domain Toolbox.

If you selected Users in the right pane, double-click Users to open the Users tools.

To begin: in the right pane of this window, double-click User Accounts, User Templates, Rights, Administrative Roles, Groups, or Mailing Lists.

Tip: Every user must be a member of at least one group, the primary group for that user. Before you add a new user, first decide what the user's primary group will be (the default group is "staff"). Then, if necessary, add that primary group before adding the user account.

For more information, see About User Accounts.
