40 Chapter 2 Getting Started With User Management

Pick a strategy before creating users. You can move home directories, but if you do, you

may need to change a large number of user records.

Determine the access protocol to use for the home directories. Most of the time you

will use AFP because it offers the greatest security. But you can use NFS (useful for UNIX

clients) and SMB/CIFS (for Windows clients).

Identifying Groups

Identify users with similar requirements and consider assigning them to groups. See

Chapter 5, “Setting Up Group Accounts.”

Determining Administrator Requirements

Decide which users you want to be able to administer accounts and make sure they

have domain administrator privileges.

The domain administrator has the greatest amount of control over other users and

their privileges. The domain administrator can create user accounts, group accounts,

and computer lists 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.

Give some thought to which users require domain administrative privileges. Managed

users can be given various administrative privileges also, allowing them to manage

specific groups of users or adjust certain account settings. A well-planned hierarchy of

administrators and users with special administration privileges can help you distribute

system administration tasks and make workflows and system management more

efficient.

When you use Server Assistant to initially configure your server, you specify a password

for the owner/administrator. The password you specify also becomes the root password

for your server. Many server administrators don’t need knowledge of the root password,

but sometimes it’s necessary when using command-line tools (such as

CreateGroupFolder). For administrators who don’t need root access, use Workgroup

Manager to create an administrator user with a password that is different from the root

password.

The root password should be used with extreme caution and stored in a secure

location. The root user has full access to the system, including system files. If you need

to, you can use Workgroup Manager to change the root password.
