Administering user accounts
User accounts help the system administrator keep
track of the people using the system and control
their access to system resources.
Accounts also help organize user files and control
their access by other users.
There are several aspects to account administration:
Users-
adding, copying, modifying,
and removing
Groups-
adding, modifying, and removing
Passwords-
assigning and controlling
Logins-
controlling locks and login limits
Powers-
assigning superuser powers
Security-
changing the system security profile
Troubleshooting-
solving problems with the Account Manager
The
Account Manager interface
provides a convenient, interactive way to perform most
account administration tasks.
