ADMIN.USER

The ADMIN.USER command allows management of the register of user names for network connections.

User management is not applicable to the PDA version of QM.

Format

ADMIN.USER

The ADMIN.USER command is built around a form filling interface. Initially it displays a request for a new or existing user name. The F2 key will display a pick list of registered users. Entering a blank user name exits from the command.

Selection of an existing user displays their details for possible amendment. Entry of a new user name displays an empty form into which the user's details may be entered.

An entry named DEFAULT (case sensitive) may be created. This will be used by the security system to determine the rights of any user for whom there is no separate entry in the register.

See Application Level Security for further details.

The fields in this screen are:

Last login

Displays the date and time of last login in the local time zone of the user executing the command.

Owner details

Unused by QM internally and may be used for any purpose.

Min password

(Windows 98/ME only) Minimum acceptable password length. Leave blank to impose no restrictions.

Force account

If set, the user is forced into this account on login except for phantoms and QMClient processes. If left blank, they will be asked for an account name after entry of their user name and password.

Administrator

Is this user to have administrator rights?

Allow

Allows user to:

Create/delete accounts

Use CREATE.ACCOUNT, DELETE.ACCOUNT and create accounts by entering QM in a directory that is not already an account.

Define private servers

Use SET.PRIVATE.SERVER to create QMNet server definitions that are private to the session in which the command is issued.

In a system running with security turned off (see the SECURITY command), any user not appearing in the user register will be able to perform any of the actions controlled by the above options.

Valid accounts

A comma separated list of accounts that the user is allowed to access. If the "All except those listed below" option is selected, this list is accounts that the user may not access. In either case, if the list is empty, no restrictions are imposed.

Action

Enter A to amend, F to file changes, D to delete this user or X to exit without saving any changes.
