Creating a User Profile

Creating a User Profile
Lynksys Small Business NSS4000 and NSS6000 Series Network Storage System Administration Guide
Users that are not created locally through the NSS are read-only. Once a user
profile is created, you cannot rename the username. To rename an existing user
profile, delete the user profile and then create a new one. User profiles are
maintained by the administrator. Users cannot make changes to their passwords.
To limit the entries in the User list, perform a substring search by entering the
desired search string in the User List Filter field, and then click Filter. (For
example, enter "ea" to display any list items that contain "ea" such as "Sean" or
"BillyJean".) To clear the filter, delete the contents of the User List Filter field, and
then click Filter.
Depending on your network setup, you might administer users and groups locally
or through the domain controller. The NSS configuration interface gives you read-
only access to users and groups provided by NTv4, Active Directory, or NIS
domains. You can also create and manage local users from the NSS configuration
interface. Before you can create a user profile, you must configure the volume you
want to use as the home directory location for your users on the Access Options
page (from the Manager Menu, click Access Options).
