Create profiles for users in the group

This topic describes how to create profiles for individual users.

When you set up user groups, you completed the steps to create group profiles. Now, you create individual profiles for the members of the groups. Work through the entire topic with the members of one user group, then go back and repeat the steps for any additional groups.

Use the Individual User Profile worksheet that you prepared in Plan user profiles.

To create individual profiles for the members of the groups, complete these tasks:

Create a personal library (optional).
Copy the group profile.
Set the password to expire.
Create additional users (optional).
Change information about a user, if necessary.
Display your results.

Note: Repeat creating a personal library and creating additional users, until every group member has a user profile.
