Using Presets to Create New Accounts

Presets provide a quick way to apply settings to a new account. After you apply the preset, you can continue to modify settings for the new account, if necessary.

1. Open Workgroup Manager on a server configured to access the Mac OS X directory domain or non-Apple LDAPv3 domain in which the preset will be used to create the new account.
2. Click Accounts.
3. Click the small globe above the accounts list, then choose the directory domain in which you want the new account to reside.
4. To authenticate, click the lock.
5. Choose an item from the Presets pop-up menu. If you plan to import a file, you choose a preset in the import options dialog.
6. Create a new account, either interactively or using an import file.

   If a setting is specified in both the preset and an import file, the value in the file is used. If a setting is specified in the preset but not in the import file, the value in the preset is used.

7. Add or update attribute values if required, either interactively or using an import file.
