Users
GFI Directory provides a complete set of functions to manage user accounts.
Best practices
The best practices used for users in a domain are helpful also for the administration of GFI Directory:
- Users or groups not used are a vulnerability. Remove users that left the organization or are inactive for a long period. For more information refer to Removing users.
- Set the users' password status to User must change password on login, rather than Password never expires.
- Send users information on how to reset their passwords instead of contacting the administrator. For more information refer to Reset password as user.
- Create a CSV file with a list of users and correspondent details to import user in bulk. For more information refer to Import users in bulk.
