User Configuration Dialog Box

User Configuration Dialog Box

Use the following options to add a new user to the user subconfiguration list.

Group type

Use the Group type options to add a new user to the user subconfiguration list.

The options are:

	Local (the default)	Select if this user is defined on the local computer.
	Domain	Select if this user is a member of a Windows Active Directory domain. Enter the domain name in the text box.

User

Specify the user name.

Notes:

Regular expressions are not supported for specifying domain and user information for subconfigurations.
Domain and user name matching is not case-sensitive.
After you have defined a group, click the available configuration panes (Permissions, Authentication, Password, Public Key, and SFTP Directories) to specify group-specific settings.

Inheritance

Only one group subconfiguration can be applied to any given user. Use the Inheritance options to determine which group subconfiguration (if any) currently applies to the specified user.

The options are:


Display group	Click to update the Inherited group display based on the current server configuration and the current state of your local and domain groups.
Inherited group	Displays which group configuration applies to the specified user. You must be logged in as a domain user to view this information. Caution: The group membership shown here may be different from the group membership established when a user connects. When you are running the console, the server queries Active Directory using your current user account. During an actual connection, the server uses either the server account, or the domain user account specified from the Domain Access pane. If group membership cannot be determined at connection time, the server applies global settings. Possible values are:
	group name	The group whose settings currently apply to this user.
	Global	No group subconfigurations currently apply to this user. Global settings will be applied.
	Unknown	Group membership could not be determined.
	Notes: Inherited group information is read-only. To modify group priorities, use the Group Configuration pane. Because the server uses your current user account to access group information, you must be logged in as a user with access to the groups you have configured to view inherited group information; for example, you must be logged in as a domain user to view inherited information about domain groups.
