Add a user account
Introduction.
This documentation shows you how to create a user on your drive. This user will then be able to log in, use the applications available on your instance, upload data, access shared files, or create shares.
- Go to your professional space. Click on your profile at the top right of the interface, then click on Accounts.
- Click on “Account management settings” (at the bottom left of the interface). The settings will appear. For this example, we will check Show language and Show last login.
- Click on New Account and enter the information for your new user. Then click on Add New Account to create it.
Account Name: set a username for the user, in lowercase, without accents or spaces. This name cannot be changed later.
Display name: sets the person's nickname, which can be changed later.
Password: sets a password for the account; this is not mandatory if the email address is entered just below.
Email address: sets the email address associated with the account and sends an email to this address to allow the user to set a password themselves. Not mandatory if a password has been set in the parameter just above, but one of the two is mandatory.
Member of the following groups: adds a user to a group.
Administrator of the following groups: defines the user as an administrator of a group, allowing them to view the accounts that are part of this group in order to modify, deactivate, or delete them.
Quota: defines the maximum amount of data stored by the user (for example, 10 GB for 10 gigabytes).
Language: defines the interface language for this user.
Manager: provides information about a line manager for this user.
- The account then appears in the menu.
- If an email address has been provided, the user is notified that their account has been created and can set their password.
