Creating and editing user accounts

Creating and editing user accounts

+ +

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:

+ +
+Lobby> . Aide edit User 
+User name: person of significance
+User #70 - Person of Significance  PW: 
  
-   This command allows any aide to change certain parameters of any user's
-account. Entering this command will ask for the name of a user to edit, and
-then prompt with the user's current access level, then ask for the new one.
-  0 - Marked for deletion
-  1 - New unvalidated user
-  2 - Problem user
-  3 - User with no network privileges

The blank lines are the user's 'registration' information -- personal +information such as full name, address, telephone number, etc. This +information will comprise the user's vCard in both their user profile and +in the Global Address Book.

+Permission to send/receive Internet mail [ No]? No

If your system is configured to only allow Internet mail privileges to +certain users, this is where you can grant or revoke that privilege.

+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.

Customizing the help files
