Configuring User Accounts

first create any local groups, then user accounts. User accounts are added to the STM’s local user
database.
Creating and Deleting User Accounts
To create an individual user account:
1. Select Users > Users from the menu. The Users screen displays (Figure 5-4 on page 5-7
contains some examples).
