| The user manager has some of the major changes between Crush4 and Crush5. If you were used to the Crush4 user manager, it will seem very strange and hard to get used to at first...until you understand how it changed, then it should make complete sense. |
| There can be different databases of user configurations. The 'User Connection Group' is the current one you are using. In this example its 'MainUsers'. |

| Read on below for a summary of how it changed, and how things work now. If nothing else, read this as its critically important to understand the change to prevent confusion. |

| Notice the title of the window. The title of the window tells you what 'server group' you are currently working with. In this example its 'lookup_9090'. Typically it would be 'MainUsers'. The top left three buttons are new user, duplicate user, and delete user. If you know a username, you can type it into the filter box to quickly find the user in the list. Or if you want to see all users inheriting from that user, enter their username in the inheritance box. |

| Users are not all listed on the left. What used to be 'groups' are not listings of certain users. A user can belong to multiple groups now. A group by itself does not imply inheritance. Read on for how that works. |

| * Major Difference from CrushFTP4 to CrushFTP5 |
| When you select a user, the settings for them will display on the right. Only settings that the user is overriding from the defaults will display. This keeps the user manager simple unless you really want to see everything. Most of the time you don't. When you do need a particular setting, either type in some keywords related to the setting, or click on the 'Show All' button to show all settings. Now everything is visible, and you can click a checkbox to override the default setting for this user. The Quick Jump drop down can help you skip to a particular section quickly. |

| Further, if you 'control click' on the add button, everyone in the current group will get this new user's setting added to them. This is a batch update. You can also control click on the checkbox on the right for a user who was already inherited and it will be removed from everyone in the group. |

| ---- |
| __Special Accounts__ |
|
| The 'default' user is the user all settings are inherited from. It cannot be deleted, or renamed. If you disable it, you disable all your users as they inherit that setting. |
|
| The 'TempAccount' user is used for '[Sharing]...' in the WebInterface. When a shared temp account goes to login, this user is the template for the virtual users settings. Deleting, or disabling this account will disable the Sharing abilities. |
|
| The 'anonymous' user will accept any password. Users won't even be prompted for credentials if you have this account created, but they can still login if they want to. |
|
| The 'template' account catches all usernames that failed login and handles them, this is primarily used with the [DMZ] but could also be used where CrushFTP is acting as a passthrough proxy type server for another backend server. |
