===== 7 User Maintenance ===== Enables you to modify any user record. You can adjust security levels, conference registrations, and more. ==== Subcommands ==== |**[record #]**|User record number.|Displays the user record number you type. If you wish to view record number 10 you would type 10.| |**A**|Add a user.|Using this subcommand you may add a user to your users file. You will be asked to provide the basic information to create the record such as a password, security level, etc. If you attempt to create a record for a user that already exists you will be informed that they already have a record on the system. If this happens you may want to use the F subcommand to help you locate that record so you can make the appropriate changes.| |**C**|Change current user record.|When you use this subcommand you can make changes to the key fields of the user record (e.g., security level, expiration date, city). The user record that is currently selected is the one that will be edited.| |**D**|Delete current user record.|Marks the current user record for deletion. You will first be asked to confirm the deletion. If you proceed to delete the record then the security level will be changed to 0 and the deleted flag will be set to Y. You can tell if a user record is marked for deletion by looking for a DL: on the display. If there is a Y next to it then the user has been marked for deletion. Otherwise there should be a N and the user has not been marked for deletion. **NOTE:** The user will not be physically be removed from the user file until you pack the users file.| |**F**|Find a user.|When you select this subcommand you are asked for the name to search for. The user file will be searched for the name you supply - partial names will not match. If the name is found then their user file will be displayed and you can use any other subcommand like C or D to modify the record.| |**L**|List all user records.|Displays the user records beginning with the first user record all of the way to the end. The format for the output is the same as if you were to select one individual record. **NOTE:** Any user records that have a security level higher than the current user will not be displayed in the list.| |**P**|Print all user records.|Displays the same information as the L subcommand but sends it to the defined printer instead.| |**Q**|Quit.|Quits the user record editor and returns you to the command prompt.| |**S**|Search user records for text.|This subcommand enables you to search the user records for specific text. PCBoard will search all ASCII text inside of the user file. This means fields such as user id, address, phone numbers, password, city, and the two comment fields will be searched.| |**U**|Undelete a user record.|If there is a user record that has been marked for deletion you can use this subcommand to undelete the user. If you do, you will need to manually change the user security level and expired security level because they were originally changed when the user record was deleted. You can use System Manager to make the appropriate changes.| **NOTE:** Any changes made to a user record (e.g., changes in security level, city) while the user is on line will not take affect until the next time the user calls in. For immediate changes to a user record, please refer to the SysOp function keys in the PCBoard chapter of this manual. ==== Description ==== PCBoard gives you easy access to the user records while you are online either locally or remote. You can do such things as adding users, deleting users, editing user records, etc. For security purposes, PCBoard will not allow you to see information about those users who have a security level higher than your own. This enables you to have co-SysOps without enabling them to see the passwords and other sensitive information about users with higher security levels. ==== Format of Record Display ==== When a user record is displayed on the screen, it is shown in the following format: |**1:** |BOB SYSOP ||ANYCITY, ANYPLACE ||||**P/W:** |*ANYPASSWORD |||||||| |**D:** |999-999-9999 ||**V:** |999-999-9999 ||| **LD:** |06-24-93 ||**LT:**|10:15 |**EX:**|Y |**PR:**|G| |**Sec:** |250|**E/Sec:**|250 |**TO:**|13|**PL:** | 23 |**UP:** |32|**DN:**|57 |**ET:**|0 |**DL:**|N| |**E/Date:**|00-00-00 ||**D/D:**|90543 ||**T/D:**| 3463463 |**T/U:**|346246 ||||||| |**C1:** | ||||||**C2:** | |||||||| |**ALIAS:** |WARLOCK WILLY ||||||||||||||| |**ST#1:** |100 Elm Street ||||||||||||||| |**ST#2:** |Apartment #32 ||||||||||||||| |**CSZC:** |Jackson, TN 38325 UNITED STATES ||||||||||||||| |**NOTE:** |..................... ||||||**Comment Field #1**|||.................... |||||| |**NOTE:** |..................... ||||||**Comment Field #2**|||.................... |||||| |**NOTE:** |..................... ||||||**Comment Field #3**|||.................... |||||| |**NOTE:** |..................... ||||||**Comment Field #4**|||.................... |||||| |**NOTE:** |..................... ||||||**Comment Field #5**|||.................... |||||| |**VERIFY:**|1001 WAYS TO USE CLIPS ||||||||||||||| The first line of each record displays the user's record number, name, city, and password. The following discusses the rest of the items you will find in each record: |**D:**|Data phone number| |**V:**|Voice phone number| |**LD:**|Last date the user called the system| |**LT:**|Last time the user called the system| |**EX:**|Expert user status| |**PR:**|Default protocol letter| |**Sec:**|Security level| |**E/Sec:**|Expired security level| |**TO:**|Number of times the user has called the system| |**PL:**|Page length setting| |**UP:**|Number of files uploaded| |**DN:**|Number of files downloaded| |**ET:**|Number of minutes spent on the last day the user called the system| |**DL:**|Whether or not the user is marked for deletion.| |**E/Date:**|Expiration date of the user.| |**D/D:**|Total number of bytes downloaded today.| |**T/D:**|Total number of bytes downloaded from the system.| |**T/U:**|Total number of bytes uploaded to the system.| |**C1:**|Comment1 field.| |**C2:**|Comment2 field.| The rest of the fields shown on this display will only be shown if you have installed the appropriate PSA. For example, the ALIAS line will only be displayed, if you have installed the Alias PSA (System Manager > Users Info File Maintenance > Install PCBoard Supported Allocation). |**ALIAS:**|The name the user has selected as their alias| |**ST#1:**|First address line| |**ST#2:**|Second address line| |**CSZC:**|City, state, zip, and country fields.| |**NOTE:**|The five lines provided by the notes PSA| |**VERIFY:**|The information the user has entered for verification purposes.| ==== Locating a User to Edit ==== You can use the S and F subcommands to help you locate the user you wish to edit. If you use the F subcommand, you must know the full user name to search for. Unless a perfect match is found then no record will be displayed. Alternatively you may use the S subcommand if you wish to search for text or you do not know the full name. Any dates you wish to search for must be in YYMMDD format because that is the way they are stored in the user file. ==== Examples ==== If you wish to search for AMY SEXTON's user record you would type the following at the command prompt: 7 F AMY SEXTON If you wish to locate all users who potentially call from Cassidy, WY then you would type the following at the command prompt: 7 S CASSIDY, WY
