To create a new user, a new user profile is created by means of the 
symbol.
A name and a password must be assigned to the new user.
A home folder stores personal content items, as well as queries, the user-defined dictionary,
Site Manager settings or draft content items of the user. If you do not enter a
folder, it will be created automatically in the /Home folder, with the name of the user as the
folder name.

By default, a user has no rights on its home folder. You have to add the user to a group which has appropriate rights on this folder. See for example the predefined editor group. |
If a folder with this name already exists, a new name will be created according to the following scheme:
A counter which counts from 1 to 1000 will be used to attach a unique number to the user name
<UserName>_(<No.>).If 1. fails, the time elapsed since 1.1.1970 in ms will be attached to the user name:
<UserName>_(<TimeInMs>).If 1. and 2. fail, an error message appears and no folder will be created. This might indicate problems with rights or the network.
You may create your own naming pattern by adding an entry for the property
save-user-homeFolderNamePattern to your custom editor bundle. Read the localization chapter of
the Editor Developer Manual for more details on own bundles. You can use
these variables to create unique names:
{0}: the user name{1}: a counter which counts from 1 up to 1000 until a unique name is found or the threshold is reached{2}: the time elapsed since 1.1.1970 in ms
Example:
The editor bundle myBundle.properties contains the following entry:
save-user-homeFolderNamePattern=UserFolder_{1}
The User Manager will create home folders UserFolder_1, UserFolder_2 ...
UserFolder_1000. If The User Manager is not able to create new folders according to this scheme,
the escalation scheme 1. - 3. described above will be used
Alternatively, you can create a home folder by your own, choosing any desired name. Nevertheless, you should
create the folder in the /Home folder.
You can allocate one or more groups to the user determining his rights in the CoreMedia system.
Every user can change his own password later. Furthermore, all users can view the rights structure of the different groups in User Administration but can not change it.
Since the user name is involved in password encryption, it is not possible to change a user name. To do so, you have to create a new user and delete the old one.
