Setting up End-User Access Creating a User Profile 5 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. Creating a User Profile Depending on your network setup, you might administer users and groups locally or through the domain controller. The NSS configuration interface gives you readonly 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).

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
.
Creating a User Profile
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
ยจ
Options
).
