The Account tab is available when a User is selected in the left tree panel and allows you to configure user options. Users can then be assigned to groups. Users assigned to groups inherit the configuration of the group to which they are assigned. Individual users can be further configured if they have some different setting from their group.
Disable account
Select this check box to disable the account but to keep the settings. When an account is disabled the user is no longer allowed to connect to your server.
Automatically remove account on date
Select this option to delete the account on the specified date. This is useful to automatically delete temporary accounts.
User Name
This user name field may be changed while viewing an existing user.
Note that there is one special user name 'Anonymous'. The 'Anonymous' user can be used for guests on your FTP server. The 'Anonymous' user does not require a password. Instead, Serv-U will ask users who log on as 'Anonymous' for an email address.
Group(s)
Every user can be part of one or more groups. Groups can be used to hold common settings shared by several users or group them for administrative purposes.
Password
The password for the user is stored by Serv-U. If the 'encrypt passwords' option is selected in the Advanced Server Settings tab, then Serv-U will store the password using MD5 encryption. To change a password, completely erase anything in this field and type the new password in and press 'Apply'. Also check out the information about S/KEY passwords.
Home Directory
The home directory is the directory that the user will be placed into immediately after logging in. Each user must be assigned a home directory. Home directories must be specified with the full path, including the drive letter or UNC share name.
Lock user in home directory
Select this option to lock the user into the home directory, not allowing him to move to another directory, other than subdirectories. This option will also tell the user that his directory is "/" when logged in to the home directory, and hide the actual path from him.
When enabled, Serv-U will show all the directories a user deals with as if they are relative to the user's home directory. That is, the user sees his home directory as root ('/'). This only works for directories that are at or below a users home directory. If enabled, a user is restricted to his home directory and the directories below it, even if there are access rules that would allow the user to go outside these. The exception to this are virtual directories that map other paths to some place at or below the users home directory.
Privilege
This box allows you to choose what kind of administrative privilege should be granted to the user. Administrative privilege is used for remote administration of a server through the user account. The following are the selections:
No Privilege
A regular user account that can not be used for remote administration.
Group Administrator
The account can be used for remote administration. The Administrator program will only show users that are members of the same group(s) as the administrator account for editing. Only new group member accounts can be created.
Domain Administrator
The account can be used for remote administration. The Administrator program will only show the domain of the administrator account, and allow changing settings of that domain only. New user and group accounts can be created but only for the same domain as the administrator account.
System Administrator
The account can be used for remote administration. Full access is granted by the Administrator program. All server and domain settings can be changed. New domains can be created, new user and group accounts can be created without restrictions.
Read-only Administrator
This privilege type is for remote diagnostics use only. You may be asked by the RhinoSoft.com support staff to create an account with this privilege, so they can evaluate your server settings remotely. The account can be used for remote administration just like the System Administrator privilege, except that no changes can be made to any setting on the server.
Notes
This text area allows the entry of notes for the system manager. Any text may be entered here.
