Help for List Users
The List Users page displays the list of defined system users. These people are allowed to access the system and perform user functions, such as using FTP to install files in their home directories. The current list of system users with their numerical uid and home directories is displayed when the page is displayed.
Defined users can be either active or inactive. Active users are able to access the system and perform all the functions available to system users. Inactive users are not able to access the system, but the information associated with the user (that is, the contents of the user's home directory) is maintained and is still available for use by the system. Contrast this with deleted users, who are also unable to access the system but whose home directories are also erased when located on a local filesystem. Inactive users can be re-activated, allowing them to regain access to the system and their home directories.
All defined users are shown in the list of system users. Inactive users are identified by enclosing the user name in brackets (for example, '[username]').
Notes: System users do not have access to any administrator functions. If you want a system user to also be able to perform administrative functions (such as use the ASM interface), you must also define the person as an administrator. Administrators are managed using the List Administrators page.
