Creating multiple users

You can use the bulk creation option to create a specified number of managed users that have many properties in common, for example for the year's new starters.

To create multiple users

  1. From the left-hand pane, select the location for the new users by choosing the appropriate user list or user folder. This determines the template used for the user creation, and the server used to store the user accounts.

  2. From the Tools menu, choose Bulk Create Users.

  3. Type in a stem username for the new users. The created usernames will all start with the characters you enter here.

  4. Specify the number of users by typing in a value or using the up and down arrows on the Number selector.

    The window displays the result of your choices. For example, typing Year1user and specifying 30 will create 30 users with the usernames Year1user01, Year1user02, Year1user03, and so on, up to and including Year1user30.

  5. If you have not already done so, select the location for the new users by choosing the appropriate server from the Server drop-down list.

  6. Where more than one template is available, to select a different template to apply to the users, select from the Template drop-down list.

  7. Click OK.
