 +===== IP Ranges =====
 +
 +The ''IP Ranges'' tab sets restrictions on which IP addresses a User can access the TapeTrack Server from. 
 +
 +If setting IP's, ensure Users have a static IP address so they are not denied access if trying to access from a dynamic address such as using a remote or home connection.
 +
 +{{master:menu_admin_group_user_admin_add_ipranges.gif}}
 +
 +To add or delete, right-click the window and select from the menu. 
 +
 +Global Access (0.0.0.0) will allow access from any IP, this value will need to be removed if added a restricted IP list as all values in the list are valid.
 +
 +
 +===== Access =====
 +The ''Access'' tab sets permissions for which Customers the selected User can access and how that User can interact with Volumes in the selected Customer.
 +
 +{{master:menu_admin_group_user_admin_add_access.gif}}
 +
 +  * **Customer-ID**: Enter the Customer-ID for the Customer that the User should have access to.
 +      * US01 will give access to US01 only
 +      * US*  will give access to all customers starting with US
 +      * * will give access to all customers 
 +   * **Read**: Allows the User to view but not update Volumes in the above Customer. Must be enabled for the User to be able to view Volumes in the selected Customer-ID.
 +   * **Write**: Allows the User to perform basic operations for Volumes to the selected Customer.
 +   * **Alter**: Allows the User to Add and Delete Media and Volumes to the selected Customer.
 +   * **Catalog**: Allows User to access Catalog information on the selected Customer.
 +
 +For each Customer access, click ''Add'' to commit the data.  Predicted access rights will then be displayed in the lower window. 
 +
 +Once all data has been entered, click ''Save'' to create User.
 +
 +The randomly generated password for the new user will be displayed in the ''Random password Set'' window.  This window has three options:
 +* Click the ''Copy password'' button to copy generated password to your clipboard. 
 +  * Clicking the ''Copy message'' button will give you the text " A new TapeTrack User-ID has been created for you to use. You can access this account using the User-ID (Current User) and the password(B@7NpJ%7GR)" copied to your clipboard for convenience when sending a message to the user with login details.
 +  * Clicking the ''Email message'' button will open up your default email client with the same text as Copy message.
 +
 +Use one of these options to notify the new user of their login details.
 +
 +If you want to manually set a password, or are using Active Directory credentials, you can close the ''Random password Set'' window without needing to record the random password.
 +
 +If you are manually setting the password, from the main menu select ''Administration'' -> ''Group/User Administration''.
 +
 +{{master:menu_file_group_user_admin.gif}}
 +
 +Right click on the required User-ID and select from the popup menu, ''Management'' -> ''Reset Password'' to open the **Password Change** window.
 +
 +<note tip>If you don't see the ''Management'' menu when right clicking on a User-ID, please see [[master:set_password:previous|Previous releases method]] for resetting passwords</note>
 +
 +{{master:select_password_management.gif}}
 +
 +In the ''Password Change'' window to set a known password value, insert new password in the ''New Password'' field.
 +
 +Type password in the ''Password (again)'' field to confirm the password value and click ''OK'' to commit the updated password.
 +
 +{{master:reset_password_other_user.gif}}
 +
 +It is best practice to have any user you change the password for to have them change their password the next time they logon to ensure user-ID security.
