User Overview
The first thing you will see on the user manager page is a summary of existing users. This summary includes the username and full name.
User Information
When adding or editing a user, you must configure the following fields:
- Username
- First name
- Last name
- Password
In addition, you can also:
- Configure optional fields such as telephone number, address, title, and more.
- Select the permitted applications for the user.
- Specify group membership on the system.
A username must follow these conventions:
- Must be all lower case (many 3rd party apps and services require this)
- Can contain letters, numbers, and the following special characters: _ - . $
Passwords
Your ClearOS password must follow these rules:
- Must start with a letter or number
- Must not contain the following characters: | ; *
App Policies
For all the packages you have installed and require permission to use, this is where you give them permission.
Here you will see the users e-mail address and you can add any alias here. The alias is added without the domain so “admin” and not “admin@example.com”. The domain is taken from the Mail Domain in Mail Settings app.
touch /var/clearos/mail_routing/forwarders
At this point, you should be able to see a new “Forwarders” section. There is currently a risk of duplicate e-mails with this facility and it is known not to work with Kopano.
