Configuring Users and Groups

Use the Users & Groups page to add, modify, or remove user accounts on the ztC Edge system, or to grant access for Active Directory users. You can select a user and view the time when the user's password was last updated. An administrator can also use the page to force a selected user to change the user's password on the next login.

To open this page, click Preferences in the left-hand navigation panel and then on the Preferences page, select Users & Groups under Administrative Tools.

To manage local user accounts

To add a new user, click Add in the lower pane. To modify an existing user, click the name of a user account and click Edit or Remove.

To view the time when a user last changed the user's password, look at the Last Password Update Time column for a selected user. To force a user to change the user's password on the next login, an administrator selects the user and then clicks Expire Password.

For more information, see Managing Local User Accounts.

To manage domain user accounts

For information about enabling the Active Directory service on your ztC Edge system, see Configuring Active Directory. To grant or remove access for domain users to manage the ztC Edge system, see Managing Domain User Accounts.

Note: If you are logged on as administrator to a system that has Active Directory users or groups configured, the Grant Access button will appear in the upper-right corner of the Users & Groups page. Clicking the Grant Access button launches the Grant Access wizard. The Managing Domain User Accounts topic discusses using the Grant Access wizard.

To sort and locate user accounts

If you have a large number of accounts, you can click a column heading to sort the accounts by parameter. You can sort accounts by Type, Username, Real Name, Email address, or Role.
