Chapter 5: Managing User Accounts 139
To display the User Accounts window:
1. From the DSView Explorer, click the Users tab. Accounts is automatically selected in the top
navigation bar, User Accounts - All is automatically selected in the side navigation bar and the
User Accounts - All window will open including all users in your DSView software system.
By default, the User Accounts - All window includes a Preemption Level column. When the
window contains this column or a Group Preemption Level column, values are not displayed
for external users (users validated with external authentication services). You may display an
external user’s effective and group preemption level by selecting the user’s name from the side
navigation bar and then selecting Preemption Levels.
2. Click one of the links below User Accounts in the side navigation bar to display the User
Accounts window you wish to view.
Customizing the User Accounts window
By default, the User Name field is always displayed in the User Accounts window. One of the icons
in Table 5.1 will appear to the left of the usernames and represent the status of each DSView
software user.
The following fields display in the User Accounts window and may be removed by clicking the
Customize link:
• Full Name - Displays another name for a user-defined in the user’s properties. For example, a
user may have a username of Sunrise1 and a full name defined as Mary Jones. See Changing
usernames on page 144 for more information.
