User Properties Dialog

The user properties dialog has various tabs.

The number of tabs depends on the type of the user storage system and whether quotas are being used. Additional tabs will appear if you have shadow passwords, or any other similar things such as /etc/master.passwd in BSD flavor Unices.

User Info Tab

In the User Info tab you can modify:

  • User Id

  • Full Name

  • Login Shell (the list of login shells is taken from the /etc/shells file)

  • Home Folder

  • Two office locations

  • Address

  • Password

Password Management Tab

The Password Management tab will appear if you have shadow passwords, or any other similar things such as /etc/master.passwd in BSD flavor Unices.

In the Extended Info tab you can modify parameters related to extended account control:

  • Minimum number of days between password changes

  • Number of days after which a password expires if it hasn't been changed

  • Number of days before expiration the user will be warned

  • Whether and when an account will be disabled if the password expires

  • A set date when the account expires

  • Class (on BSD systems)

The date of the last password change is displayed near the top of the dialog.

Quota Tab

You will probably see the Quota tab only if you have at least one mounted volume with quota enabled and a quota file present. There you may modify all quota related parameters:

  • File Soft Quota

  • File Hard Quota

  • File Time Limit (Grace Period)

  • iNode Soft Quota

  • iNode Hard Quota

  • iNode Time Limit (Grace Period)

All these parameters can be changed for each filesystem that has user quota enabled. Filesystems can be changed using the Quota Filesystem box.

Groups Tab

The Groups tab contains all the information about the selected user's participation in groups. The primary group to which the user belongs is set in the Primary Group box. The user can be assigned to additional groups by checking them in the large box.
