Help for Add User


Description of the information displayed

The Add User page lets you add a new user to the system. The newly added user can access the system and perform user functions, such as using FTP to install files in their home directories.

To create a user, type the requested information, and type Submit.

User Type the system name (user ID) of the user. User names are case-sensitive. This value can be any valid Linux user ID.
Password Type the password of the new user. Passwords are case sensitive. This value can be any valid Linux password (it must be at least 6 characters long).
Confirm Password Retype the user password to confirm the correct value is entered.
User ID Type the numerical user ID value for this user (optional).
Disk Quota in MB (Optional) Type the maximum amount of space allowed for the user's home directory (optional). The disk quota can be any integer value (for example, 10 or 20). A value of zero (the default value) indicates there is no limit. IBM recommends you use disk quotas to prevent overuse of the system by a user.


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.
