Step 3: Make sure users and their home directories exist

Use Workgroup Manager to set up user accounts and home directories. Once users are

created in Workgroup Manager, they are ready to be managed on Mac OS X clients. You can

set up various privileges (such as print or mail quotas) for users as you create them.

Home directories can be stored on an Apple Filing Protocol (AFP) server. You can set up

group volumes as AFP share points and add additional share points if you need them. Each

user you want to manage must have a home directory. If no home directory exists for a user,

he or she cannot log in.

See Chapter 3, “Users and Groups,” for information about how to create users, deﬁne user

privileges, and set up home directories.

Designating Administrators

For Mac OS X clients, the server administrator has the greatest amount of control over other

users and their privileges. The server administrator can create users, groups, and computer

accounts and assign settings, privileges, and managed preferences for them. He or she can

also create other server administrator accounts, or give some users (for example, teachers or

technical staff ) administrative privileges within certain directory domains. These “directory

domain administrators” can manage users, groups, and computer accounts within the limits

assigned to them by the server administrator.

For more information about assigning administrative privileges to users with network

accounts, see Chapter 3, “Users and Groups.”

Setting Up User Accounts

If you use Workgroup Manager to manage your OS X clients, you can set some privileges

when you set up accounts. You can use “presets” like templates and apply various settings

automatically when you create an account. See Chapter 3, “Users and Groups,” for more

information about how to set up user accounts.

Depending on your needs, you may want to set up local user accounts in addition to network

user accounts. A network user has a user account associated with Mac OS X Server and you

can allow that user to log in from various computers on your network. A local user has an

account associated with a speciﬁc client computer, and his or her local account is

independent from any network user account and other local accounts on other computers.

An individual user may have both a network account that provides access to network services

and a separate local account on a speciﬁc computer. You can set up managed preferences for

any user with a network account, but the most convenient way to manage network users is

by managing preferences for groups to which they belong. This makes it easier to manage

users regardless of which computer they use.
