USERMANAGER(1M)                                                USERMANAGER(1M)



NAME
     UserManager - User Accounts Manager

SYNOPSIS
     /usr/sysadm/bin/runcatalog /usr/sysadm/catalogdf/SaUserAccountCatalog.cdf

DESCRIPTION
     Managers display information about your system and provide access to
     interactive guides (also called tasks) that let you administer your
     system.

     The User Manager displays a list of the user accounts currently on the
     system and gives you access to related guides.

     In the Manager window, you can open a guide by choosing its name from the
     Task menu or by clicking its button at the bottom of the window.

GUIDES
     Guides, also called "tasks," are interactive windows that lead users
     through the steps necessary to perform various system administration
     tasks, such as adding new user accounts and configuring networking on the
     system.

     A guide typically consists of a series of pages that prompt users to
     enter information or select options. A user navigates through guide pages
     using the Prev and Next buttons (or corresponding arrow keys).  When the
     user reaches the last page of a guide and clicks the OK button, the
     system executes one or more commands to perform the system administration
     task. These commands are located in /usr/sysadm/privbin.  See
     addUserAccount(1M), checkPassword(1M), deleteUserAccount(1M),
     modifyUserAccount(1M), and configAutoLogin(1M) for more information.

     Many of the guides require that a user either know the root password or
     be assigned the necessary privileges (using the PrivilegeManager(1M)) in
     order to perform the task.

     Add a User Account
               This task allows you to add a new user account to your
               workstation.  When you create a user account for a person, that

               make use of its resources.  The privilege needed for this task
               is:

     Remove a User Account
               This tasks allows you to delete a user account from this
               workstation.  When you delete a user account, the user will no
               longer be able to log in to your workstation or use its
               resources.  The privilege needed for this task is:





                                                                        Page 1
