Anyone with Aide level access may use the +.Aide edit User +command to create and/or edit user accounts. There are several +parameters which can be set here.
+ +To create a user:
+ ++Lobby> . Aide edit User +User name: New User Name +No such user. +Do you want to create this user? Yes ++ +
At this point, the new user account has been created, and the command will +continue as if you were editing an existing account. Therefore the remainder +of this procedure is the same for creating and editing:

...this allows you to set or change the access level for this account. The +access levels available are as follows: +

+ ++Ask user to register again [Yes]: Yes ++ +
If you answer Yes to this question, the user will be presented with a +'registration' screen or set of prompts, the next time they log in using a +Citadel client. This will prompt them for their full name, address, +telephone number, etc.

Citadel contains an auto-purger which is capable of automatically deleting +accounts which have not been accessed in a predefined period of time. If +you choose to perform this operation, you can 'touch' the account of a wayward +user by setting their 'last call' time to 'now'. You can also adjust, on a +per-user basis, the amount of time which must pass before their account is +purged by the system. This time is set in days. You can also specify 0 days +to indicate that you wish to use the system default setting.
