Chapter 5: Adminstration Tasks
Creating User
Accounts
Authorized users gain access to an 3070 system by
supplying a valid user name (login name) and
(optionally) a password.
File access permissions and group permissions
determine who can access a given file on MS
Windows® systems.
Required Tools and Materials
To accomplish the tasks in this chapter, you will need:
■ Standard MS Windows® administration tools.
■ Standard 3070 Group and User Accounts
Groups
Groups are useful because files have permissions at the
group level. If your users all belong to the same group,
you can have several users, but still share restricted
files. Always use one of the predefined 3070 groups
when adding new users. You should not need additional
groups to use the 3070 functionality. As shipped, your
3070 system is set up with the 3070 groups shown in
Table 5-1.
Users
Users accounts are useful if you or your users need to
know who creates and owns particular files. Also, you
can restrict the environment of a particular user. As
shipped, your 3070 system is set up with the 3070 users
shown in Table 5-2.
