Chapter 5 Managing Users 67
To change account settings for a user:
1 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, select the user account you want to change in
the list on the left.
2 Click Account, and then change any available setting, using the following information
as a guide:
Name: Enter the user’s name. It can be used with the password to authenticate for
services.
Short Name: This is an abbreviation of the user’s name. It’s used for the user’s email
and iChat addresses. It can also be used with the password to authenticate for services.
It can’t be changed after the account is created.
Reset Password: Click to reset the password. The password can’t be changed for a user
account that’s imported from a directory server.
Picture: Click to set the user’s picture by choosing a picture, taking a picture with an
attached camera, or applying a visual effect.
Allow user to administer this server: If selected, this user account can manage users,
groups, and services with Server Preferences.
If settings besides the short name are dimmed in the Account pane, you can’t change
them because they are stored the directory server that your server is connected to.
Users with Leopard can change their own account information using the Directory
application.
