Remote Control Host › Add New Users

Add New Users

If you are working with an unmanaged host, that is, in a stand-alone environment, you need to set up users who can connect to your computer. Procedures and dialogs vary according to the type of security provider you select.

To add a new user

1. Click the Users tab in the DSM Properties - Remote Control dialog.
2. Click the Current Security Provider field and select one of the following options:

   Local

   Permits you to create a user name and password for any user you want to add.

   Unified

   Permits you to select a user from a list of local and domain users previously established by the administrator of the local network.

3. Click Add.

   Remote Control displays the dialog applicable to the type of security provider you selected:

   Local

   Displays the Create New User dialog. Go to Step 4 to continue.

   Unified

   Displays the Add Users dialog with a listing of domains. Go to Step 7 to continue.

4. Enter the user name, the full name of the user, and any noteworthy information in the User Details fields.
5. Enter a password and confirm the password in the Password fields.
6. Click Create.

   The user details appear in the list view of the Users tab. Go to Step 11 to continue.

7. Explore domains and locate the user or groups of users that you want to add.

   Note: Each time you expand the DSM Explorer tree, a message appears requesting that you wait for the user information. Within seconds, the listing is produced.

8. Select the user or group of users you want to add.

   Once selected, the Add button is enabled.

9. Click Add.

   The user or group of users you selected appears in the Users to be added list.

10. Verify your selection and, if correct, click OK.

    The Users tab appears with your selection in the list.

11. Click OK.

    The added user or group is saved. Information remains listed in the Users tab until it is deleted.

Note: After you add a user, you need to assign user permissions.
