Step 4  Add Users
This section provides information on adding VISTA Plus for Windows MPE users to the VISTA
Plus server. The VISTA Plus server maintains a users file with the names of all users that will
access the reports on the HP 3000. Each VISTA Plus user that will access reports must be added to
this file to establish a connection to the VISTA Plus server.
Two user records must be created for each user who will use VISTA Plus for Windows MPE:
• The first user record is added with the VISTA Plus VISTAMNT.PUB.NETBASE
administration program. This program defines users in the VISTA Plus system and the folder
profiles assigned to each user.
• The second user record is added using the vusers program. The vusers program allows you to
define a user’s name, password, and MPE logon ID. The VISTA Plus for Windows MPE
application uses the MPE logon ID to determine which folders to display for a given user.
Each user who will access reports on the HP 3000 must be added as a VISTA Plus user. For more
information on maintaining and defining user records, refer to Chapter 6 in this guide.
Note. User records are optional with the VISTA Plus character-mode product.
However, user records are required for each VISTA Plus for Windows MPE user who
will view reports on the HP 3000.
