2. Double-click an existing user to define its properties.

   To create a new user, right-click in the right pane, select Create new user. Double-click the new user and provide a name and a description for the user.

3. Select the type of authentication for the user.

4. Adjust the user's administration rights (available if either basic user management is used). (Information about user rights.)

5. If applicable, include the user in a user group.
