How to create new users in Xeams

It is important that you create users in Xeams, particularly if you use Xeams in Stand-Alone mode. Additionally, users are required if:

• You want use the POP3 or IMAP server
• Want to use SMTP authentication for out-bound emails
• Want to generate a summary report for your employees containing a list of messages that are blocked by the server
• You want individual employees in your company to log in to the Admin Console and manage their own rules.

There are three ways to create accounts for an end-user

1. Creating manually - this must be done by an Administrator
2. Using a wizard - this must be done by an Administrator
3. By users themselves - this can be done by the end user

This page talks about the first two methods. Click here to learn more about the third one.

Creating users in Xeams

Following steps show how to create users in Xeams

1. Launch Admin Console and log in.
   
2. Click User Management under the Server Configuration menu
3. Click Add New User to add a new user
4. Following table defines the fields on this screen

Field name	Description
Email	Email address of the user. This field serves as a login ID.
Password	Password that will be used by the user to connect to Admin Console. This value is also used when using IMAP, POP3 or SMTP authentication. We recommend you assign a generic password to every new user. Then, ask the users to log into their account and change their password at a later time.
Create associations	Check this box if your server handles multiple domains and you want Xeams to associate every domain with this user. Consider the following scenario as an example. Your server handles emails for YourCompany.com MyCompany.com OurCompany.com You are creating a new user and his email address is John@yourcompany.com Check this box if you want John to get emails for john@yourcompany.com, john@mycompany.com and john@ourcompany.com
Notification Messages	If this box is checked, Xeams will send a summary report to the user containing a list of all messages that were marked as junk allowing the user to restore any message if it was tagged incorrectly.
Server's host name	The notification email contains URL that user can click to mark and restore messages. This is the IP address/Hostname with respect to the user.

Creating users with a Wizard

Using the wizard allows you to create several users at once. This wizard examines the email address of the users who have received emails in the past 24 hours. It then displays a list of these email address on the next screen allowing you to select the user for which you wish to create an account.
