You can create new Active Directory user accounts with the Active Roles Console.
To create a user account
-
In the Console tree, locate and select the folder in which you want to add the user account.
-
Right-click the folder, point to New and click User to start the New Object - User wizard.
-
Follow the wizard pages to specify properties of the new user account, such as the user first name, last name, full name, display name, logon name, pre-Windows 2000 logon name, password, and Exchange mailbox settings.
-
If you want to set values for additional properties (those for which the wizard pages do not provide data entries), click Edit Attributes on the completion page of the wizard.
-
After setting any additional properties, click Finish on the completion page of the wizard.
NOTE: Consider the following when creating a user account:
-
The behavior of the wizard pages may vary depending on the configuration of Active Roles policies. To determine whether a given item on a page is under the control of a certain policy, observe the text label next to the item: the underlined text label indicates that some policy restrictions are in effect. Click underlined text labels to examine the policies that govern the behavior of the wizard pages.
-
You can start the New Object - User wizard by clicking
on the toolbar.
-
To create a user account, you can also copy a previously created user account. For more information, see Copying a user account .
-
A new user account with the same name as a previously deleted user account does not automatically assume the permissions and group memberships of the previously deleted account because the security ID (SID) for each account is unique. To duplicate a deleted user account, you must manually reconfigure all of its permissions and memberships.
