Field Name | Description
User | The user login. A user obtains the login to enter the My Control Panel like: login@system_name, where login is the contents of Login field, and system_hostname is replaced with your Virtuozzo Container domain. Note that the e-mail address created and used as a login is a real e-mail address, however it cannot be managed using the Control Panel.
Type | Read-only field. Indicates whether a user is a system one or not. System users' parameters are important for your System manageability, so it is not recommended to change parameters of a system user without the need. Note in your Control Panel only non-system users can get FTP access.
Directory | Default user directory.
Shell | Shell command interpreter. Use /bin/false to disable interactive logins.
Comment | Comment field, usually contains full name for live, non-system users.
Password | User pasword. Should be entered twice for confirmation.

Group membership

- Select the user primary group (files created by this user will belong to this Group) from the Primary group drop-down menu. Since the group named by a user login is being always created, you can leave the Same as login option in this menu; in this case, the user primary group will be named by a user login;
- You can select the secondary groups a new user will also belong (this allows granting additional access permissions to a user since): select a group from the Available secondary groups menu (by clicking on its name) and click the >> button. The group name shall move to the Selected secondary groups list (a user will be added to the selected group). In case of mistake (or if you need to exclude a user from a group), select a group name in the Selected secondary groups menu and click the << button to cancel selection. To select several groups in series click and drag the mouse or click on the first group and SHIFT+click on the last group. To select several groups not in series, use CTRL+click.

Quotas

System resources-usage quotas for a user.

- Inodes.Number of disk inodes a user can allocate. Essentially this is the total number of files and directories that can be created by a user. This parameter should be set in the form of soft limit (type the value in the Soft field) and hard limit (type the value in the Hard field). Soft limit allows allocating more inodes (up to hard limit) during some predefined amount of time. It is recommended to set both soft and hard limit to the same value or set hard limit to about 10% higher than soft limit.
- DiskspaceDisk space a user can use. It is measured in 1 KByte blocks. Similarly to the number of inodes, should be set in the form of soft limit and hard limit. Recommended ratio of soft and hard limits is the same as for the number of inodes.
