Creating Zetafax user accounts
This topic explains how to set up users of the Zetafax system. See Enabling network users to define user access restrictions.
User maintenance
Users are added using the Zetafax Configuration program. Permissions such as the ability to send urgent faxes or edit the network address book may be set individually for each user.
To add a user
You can add a user in two ways:
1.Select the Zetafax folder and click Add user in the right pane.
2.Select the Users and user groups folder, highlight Zetafax users , click the Action menu or right-click and select Add new Zetafax user.
The Add new Zetafax user dialog is displayed.
Usernames
Windows Account
Uses your current Windows Account to log on to Zetafax
Zetafax Account
Uses your Zetafax Account to log on to Zetafax. Your Zetafax Account may be different to your Windows Account.
Note: Zetafax Usernames can only use the following characters: A-Z, 0-9, ‘_’ or ‘-‘
The Zetafax Configuration program makes it simple to configure groups of Zetafax user accounts at once each with similar privileges. This is achieved using the (new user defaults ) account in the Zetafax user details dialog. The new user defaults setting acts as a "template" from which all new Zetafax accounts are based. If you wish to configure several Zetafax users at once and to specify restrictions such as send time and dial allowed, you can edit the (new user defaults) user, specify the appropriate restrictions and create a new user by clicking the New button. The new user and subsequent new users will inherit the properties of the (new user default) settings.
Note : Using the (new user defaults) setting, it is also possible to specify whether each new Zetafax user is enabled to use the email gateway. If either of the Allow sending from email gateway or Forward received messages via email check boxes are selected, the Zetafax Configuration program will find a match for the network username from the list of email users it acquired using the email username Import Service. If Zetafax does not find a match in the email list, an email username can be entered manually at a later stage in the appropriate field.
