Help for Edit User
The Edit User page lets you display and change the characteristics (for example, password or user ID) of a system user. The current characteristics of the system user are displayed when the page is displayed (excluding the user password).
Note: For security reasons, the existing user password is not filled in when this page is displayed. The password of the user is changed to the supplied password value whenever the characteristics of a user are updated.
User | Type the system name (user ID) of the user being modified. |
Password | Type the new password of the user. Passwords are case sensitive. This value can be any valid Linux password (it must be at least 6 characters long). |
User ID | Type the numerical user ID value for this user. |
Confirm Password | Retype the user password to confirm the correct value is entered. |
Disk Quota (MB) | Type the maximum amount of space in megabytes allowed for the user's home directory. You can increase or decrease the existing disk quota, using any valid disk quota value (any integer value, such as 10 or 20). You cannot set the disk quota limit for a user below the current amount of space currently in the user's home directory. A value of zero indicates there is no limit. |
