Managing Groups of User Objects
Creating and Editing User Templates with NetWare Administrator
Prerequisites
• A 386 or later workstation and NetWare Administrator
• The Create object right to the object that will contain the user template
Procedure
1 From the Windows Program Manager, click on the “NetWare Administrator”
icon.
2 Select the object that will contain the new user template.
For information on moving around in the browser and selecting objects, press
<F1>.
Only Organization and Organizational Unit objects can contain User objects.
3 From the “Object” menu, select “User Defaults.”
4 If you want the new user template to inherit the properties from the parent
container’s user template, choose “Yes.” If not, choose “No.”
If there is no parent container, this prompt does not appear. Continue with Step
5.
If you choose “Yes,” a USER_TEMPLATE User object is created and the first
page of defaults, “Identification,” appears with the same information that is in
the parent container’s user template.
If you choose “No,” a USER_TEMPLATE User object is created and the first
page of defaults, “Identification,” appears.
5 (Optional) On the “Identification” page, enter or change the information that you
want to apply to new User objects.
For example, the location for all User objects to which you will apply the
template might be New York. You would type “New York” in the “Location”
field.
6 Select other USER_TEMPLATE pages as needed and enter the template
information.
7 To save the user template and return to the browser, choose “OK.”
