3 Managing User Accounts
Setting up a Novell
®
eDirectory
TM
user account involves creating a User
object and setting properties to control login and the user's network computing
environment. You can use a template object to facilitate these tasks.
You can create login scripts to cause users to be connected automatically to the
files, printers, and other network resources they need when they log in. If
several users use the same resources, you can put the login script commands
in container and profile login scripts.

Creating User Accounts
A user account is a User object in the eDirectory tree. A User object specifies
a user's login name and supplies other information used by eDirectory and
NetWare
®
to control the user’s access to network resources. You can define
user properties ahead of time in a template, before actually creating the User
object.
