Description
The account name and password can be literals stored with this script step, or generated at runtime
based on calculations that you set up.
Notes
• Account names must be unique.
• You must be assigned the Full Access privilege set to perform this script step. Select Run
script with full access privileges to enable users with less than full access privileges to
perform this script step.
Example 1
Adds a new user account with data entry only privileges. Requires you to change the password the
next time you log into the account.
Add Account [Account Name: "User"; Password: "1234"; Privilege Set: "[Data
Entry Only]"; Expire password]
Example 2
Adds a new account with read-only privileges using the name and password in the custom dialog.
Show Custom Dialog ["Do you want to add a new account?"; Accounts::Name;
Accounts::Password]
If [Get ( LastMessageChoice ) = 1]
Add Account [Account Name: Accounts::Name; Password:
Accounts::Password; Privilege Set: "[Read-Only Access]"]
End If
Example 3
Adds a new data entry only account unless the current user has read-only privileges. Uses the
current user's name for the new account name.

Privilege Set: "[Data Entry Only]"; Expire password]
