Username
The username is mandatory and must be unique within the AIM installation.
Note: If a user is synced with Active Directory, it is not possible to change the
Username, First/Last Name, Password, or User Group membership. These items
must be edited on the Active Directory server and the changes will filter through
to AIM the next time a sync takes place with Active Directory.
First Name, Last Name and Email
The First Name, Last Names and Email address entries are optional but are
advisable within an installation of any size or one that will be administered by
more than one person.
Password
The password is required for logging into a channel and/or for logging into the
AIM admin system, if the user is to be granted admin privileges.
Admin?
When set to Yes, the user is granted privileges to login to the AIM admin system

the need to delete the whole account.

other users from sharing the connection). When this is set to "Inherit from User

exclusively. Note: It is an additional requirement that the channel being accessed
by the user, must also permit exclusive access.

Receiver and Receiver Group Permissions
