Administrator Guide

Managing Users and Groups with User Accounts
To create and manage user accounts and groups, and configure advanced user profile properties, use the User Accounts
window. By default, a new user is only a member of the Users group and is not locked down. As an administrator, you can select
the attributes and profile settings for users.
This section provides quick-start guidelines on:
● Creating User Accounts
● Editing User Accounts
● Configuring User Profiles
NOTE: For detailed information on using the User Accounts window, click the Help icon and examples links provided
throughout the wizards. For example, you can use the Windows Help and Support window to search for items such as
user profiles and user groups. Obtain links to detailed steps on creating and managing these items.
Creating user accounts
Only administrators can create user accounts locally or remotely through VNC. However, due to local flash or disk space
constraints, the number of additional users on the thin client device should be kept minimum.
