Adding a User

On the Configuration pane, there are eight branches (seven in Lite). The top branch is Users. Click the + sign to view registered users. Initially there will be two users, Administrator and Guest. For organisations that wish to use the accounting features, a user record must be set up for each individual account.

To add a user

1. In Gatekeeper: Open the user tree by clicking on the + sign

2. Right click on any user and select ‘New User’

3. You will be presented with a Tab control

4. Type in the user name (eg mary-bob) into the Username field

5. Enter the user’s Real name (optional)

6. Get the user to enter and confirm their password, or leave it blank and select ‘User must change password at next logon’

7. (optional) Enter a description of the user e.g. Technical support guru

8. Set the options for this user

9. Click OK

The options on the User info tab are self-explanatory. However they will be discussed in the security section later.
