NetVault 13.2 - Administration Guide

User accounts can be created from the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page. Only the administrator can create and manage user accounts in NetVault.

To create a user account:

In the Navigation pane, click Users and Groups.

On the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page, click Add User.

Figure 20. Manage User Accounts and User Groups page

NetVault creates a user account and assigns the default name New User (or “New User [n]” if the default name is in use) to this user.

By default, the table is sorted by User Name.

You can sort the table by one or more columns, as required. For more information, see Sorting records in NetVault WebUI.

To view the page size setting, sorting order in the table, export the records, or edit table settings, click the icons at the lower- right corner of the table. For more information, see Customizing tables in NetVault WebUI.

To quickly find entries containing specific field values or text in any column, you can use the Search box at the upper-right corner of the table. The data in the table is filtered as you type the search text into the box. You can also include wildcards (“?” or “*”) in the search filter string.


	NOTE: The NetVault Server does not delete the user account if you exit without completing the user addition procedure. If you do not require the user account, you must manually delete it from the Manage User Accounts and User Groups page. For more information, see Deleting a user account.
