Editing a network account

Use the TRITON Settings > Administrators > Add Network Account page to add users defined in a supported directory service as TRITON administrators.

Enter keywords to search on in the Search field to find the accounts that you want to add as TRITON administrators. Optionally, you can use the asterisk wildcard (*) as part of your search.

By default, the search context for your search is the default domain context from the Directory Service page (see Setting email notifications). You can edit this context by clicking Refine search and entering a new search context in the field that appears. You can revert to the default context by clicking Restore default.

If you are using Active Directory, for users the Email, Login Name, and Display Name fields in your selected context are searched. If you are using Novell eDirectory, Oracle Directory Service, or Lotus Notes/Domino, for users the Email, Display Name, Username, and Common Name (CN) fields are searched. For all directory services, the CN field is searched for groups.

The search results list both users and groups that match the specified keywords, and display both user name and email address for the network account. To add a user or group as an administrator, mark the check box next to the account name, and then click the right arrow (>) to add the account to the Selected accounts list.

To delete a user from the Selected accounts list, mark the check box next to the account name, and then click the left arrow (<).
