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.

1. Go to your professional space. Click on your profile at the top right of the interface, then click on Accounts.

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. The account then appears in the menu.

5. If an email address has been provided, the user is notified that their account has been created and can set their password.
