Description

Username

The username for this account.

Name

Short descriptive text for this account.

Type

Choose from one of three account types:

System (default)

Use this type if the User you are defining already has a standard User account within this IceWarp Server.

For this type you should specify the User account in the Account field and the user will have to use that account's password to access the FTP server.

Example:

From the screenshot above - the user logs in with username "Administrator" and the password to Account admin@merakdemo.com.

Local

Use this type for a user external to the IceWarp Server. A password must be specified in the Password field.

Anonymous

Use this type if you do not want to specify a password for the user.

NOTE - do not assign administrator rights to this type of user as this could easily lead to abuse of your FTP site.

Password

Specify a password here for users of type Local.

Account

Specify the IceWarp Server account here for user type System.

Use the '...' button to open the Select Account dialog, allowing you to easily locate and assign an account.

Group

Add this user into an existing Group by selecting the appropriate Group from the Drop-down list.

NOTE - Groups must be defined before you can add a user (see Groups).

Path

You can define a specific path for this User's home directory here.

NOTE - This value will override any Group value defined
