Administering User Accounts
This section describes how to administer user accounts stored in various kinds of
directory domains.
Creating Mac OS X Server User Accounts
You need administrator privileges for a directory domain to create a new user account
in it.
To create a user account:
1 In Workgroup Manager, click Accounts.
2 Ensure that the directory services of the Mac OS X Server you’re using has been
configured to access the domain of interest.
See the Open Directory administration guide for instructions.
3 Click the small globe above the accounts list, then choose the domain in which you
want the user’s account to reside.
For example, Local, /NetInfo/root/<host name>, and /NetInfo/DefaultLocalNode all
refer to the local directory domain. /NetInfo/root refers to a shared NetInfo domain if
the server is set up to access one; otherwise, /NetInfo/root is the local domain.
4 To authenticate, click the lock.
5 Choose Server > New User or click New User in the toolbar.
6 Specify settings for the user in the tabs provided.
See “Defining Long User Names” on page 66 through “Forwarding a User’s Mail” on
page 81 for details.
You can also use a preset or an import file to create a new user.
Note: Workgroup Manager can't be used to create users, groups, or computers in a
standard Active Directory domain. The Active Directory schema must be extended to
allow creating users, groups, or computers.
For details, see “Using Presets to Create New Accounts” on page 64 and “Using
Workgroup Manager to Import Users and Groups” on page 206.
