Imported user accounts can also have access to wikis, blogs, web calendars, a server-based address book, the server's shared files, and Time Machine backup storage. If your server's mail service and VPN service are turned on, imported user accounts get email addresses and can use VPN to access the server remotely. Availability of each service is subject to the service being turned on, and you can individually control each imported user account's access to services. Chapter 6 Managing Users 91 To import a user account: 1 If you're going to have the server send an invitation email to imported users, make sure the custom introduction and the sender's name and email address suit your needs. For information, see "Customizing the Server Invitation Email" on page 101. 2 In the Users pane of Server Preferences, click the Add (+) button and choose "Import User From Directory" from the pop-up menu. If you don't see a pop-up menu when you click Add (+), your server isn't connected to a directory server in your organization. See "Connecting Your Server to a Directory Server" on page 71. If your organization doesn't have a directory server (apart from your server), you can create new user accounts. For instructions, see "Adding a User Account" on page 89. 3 Type part or all of the user's name in the search field, and when you see the name listed, select it, optionally select "Send imported users an email invitation, " and then click Import. 4 When you're finished importing user accounts, click Done. User accounts you import using this procedure are shown as "Imported" in the Users pane. Instead of importing user accounts individually using this procedure, you can import user accounts automatically from groups. For instructions, see the next section. 92 Chapter 6 Managing Users Importing Groups of Users Automatically If your server is connected to your organization's directory server, you can import groups of existing user accounts. If you import a group, your server automatically imports user accounts for all group members. Your server periodically checks with your organization's directory server for changes in each imported group's membership, and automatically adds and removes imported user accounts as users are added to or removed from an imported group. Your server gives each imported user account its own iChat address, personal calendar, and My Page wiki portal. Imported user accounts can also have access to wikis, blogs, web calendars, a server-based address book, the server's shared files, and Time Machine backup storage. If your server's mail service and VPN service are turned on, imported user accounts get email addresses and can use VPN to access the server remotely. Availability of each service is subject to the service being turned on, and you can individually control each imported user account's access to services.
