<H3><A NAME="sec1-MainWindow"></A> <A NAME="ss3.1">3.1 Main Window</A>
</H3>

<P>Kuser is a very simple application. In the main window you can see two lists:
the list of users and the list of groups. To edit a user or a group you
just double click on it. The user/group properties dialog will
appear.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="sec1-UserProps"></A> <A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 User Properties Dialog</A>
</H3>

<P>The user properties dialog has two, three or four tabs.
<P>
<P>The number of tabs 
depends on the type of the user storage system and quota presence.
Additional tabs will appear if you have shadow passwords, or any other similar
things such as /etc/master.passwd in BSD flavor Unices.
<P>
<H4><A NAME="sec2-userinfo"></A> User Info Tab</H4>

<P>In the 'User Info' tab you can modify: Full name, Login shell (the list of login
shells is taken from the /etc/shells file), Home directory, Extra info, User
ID, and
Password.
<P>
<H4><A NAME="sec2-extended"></A> Extended Info Tab</H4>

<P>The 'Extended Info' tab will appear if you have shadow passwords, or any other similar
things such as /etc/master.passwd in BSD flavor Unices.
In the 'Extended Info' tab you can modify parameters related to extended account control: Date until
change allowed, Date before change required, Date user will be warned about
expiration, Date before account inactivation, Date when account expires, and
Class (on BSD systems).
<P>
<H4><A NAME="sec2-quota"></A> Quota Tab</H4>

<P>You may see the 'Quota' tab only if you have at least one mounted volume with
quota enabled and a quota file present. There you may modify all quota related
parameters: File Soft Quota, File Hard Quota, File Time Limit (Grace Period),
iNode Soft Quota, iNode Hard Quota, iNode Time Limit (Grace Period). All
this parameters can be changed for each filesystem that has user quota
enabled. Filesystems can be changed using the 'Quota Filesystem' combobox.
<P>
<H4><A NAME="sec2-group"></A> Groups Tab</H4>

<P>The 'Groups' tab contains all the information about user's participation in groups.
First of all, it shows the user's primary group. Also, you can assign as many
secondary groups as you wish using the arrow buttons.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="sec1-GroupProps"></A> <A NAME="ss3.3">3.3 Group Properties</A>
</H3>

<P>The Group properties dialog has two list boxes. The right one contains users,
who are included in the group, and the left one contains the list of
all other users in the system.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="sec1-add"></A> <A NAME="ss3.4">3.4 Adding Users/Groups</A>
</H3>

<P>Also you can add and delete users using either buttons or the menu.
