Finding Specific Imported Users
You can use the “Select Users By” feature to search for Macintosh Manager users according to
chosen criteria.
To search for users:
1 Open Macintosh Manager, then click Users.
2 If “Template” appears in the list of users, make sure it is not selected.
3 Choose Select Users By from the Edit menu.
4 Select the kinds of search information you want to use.
If you select Comment, you can find users that have certain words in their comment fields.
Providing Quick Access to Unimported Users
If you want to allow user access to a managed network without having to set up user
accounts, you can use the All Other Users feature, or you can set up a guest user account.
If mobile clients require access to your network, you may also want to use the All Other
Computers account.
Using Guest Accounts
In Macintosh Manager, you can create three types of “guest” accounts, all of which can be
managed.
m All Other Users
Using All Other Users is a quick way to provide access to large numbers of users and
manage them without having to import them into Macintosh Manager. Users with existing
Mac OS X user accounts can log in and access their own home directories, preferences,
and documents. They have the privileges and environment you set up for the All Other
Users Account. You can also set login settings for All Other Users and allow them to
exceed printer quotas.
For information about how to set up the All Other Users account see “Providing Access to
Unimported Mac OS X Server Users” on page 430.
m Guest Users
When a user logs in as Guest, no password is required. Anyone can use the guest account
when it is available, whether he or she has a Macintosh Manager user account, a Mac OS X
Server user account, or no account at all.
All users logged in as Guest have the same privileges and preferences. Any settings you
choose for the guest account apply to all users who log in as Guest. You can set login
settings and user storage quotas for guest users. You can also allow them to exceed
printer quotas.
