Using Computer Login Settings
Computer login settings allow you to choose how users log in, what messages they see, and
what panel names look like.
Choosing How Users Log In
When users log in to a computer, they can either type their names or choose their names
from a list. If you decide to use a list for login, the list can contain up to 2000 users. You can
choose not to display administrators in that list.
To set login options:
1 In Macintosh Manager, click Computers.
2 Click Log-In and select a computer list.
3 Select “Users choose their name from a list (1-2000 users)” to use the list option. If you do
not want administrator names to appear in the list, select “List displays users only (no
administrators).”
4 If you do not want to use a list, select “Users type their name.”
5 Click Save.
