# Add, Delete, or Unlock a User ID

This procedure describes how to add or delete a user ID, and how to unlock the ID of a user. Adding a user ID involves specifying a user ID, the actual (real) name, a password, and permission categories.

Note: Only the system superuser can perform these procedures.

## Adding a User ID

To add an FPSA user ID:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, and then (P) Passwords/Security.

2. Select (A) Add User and enter a unique user ID of up to 17 letters.

3. Enter the real name, up to 25 letters, of the person to be associated with this user ID.

4. Enter the permission categories; a digit from 2 through 6, or any combination of these digits, separated by commas. For example: 4,5,6. Refer to the table below for a description of permission categories.

Category | Description
1 | System Superuser. Unlimited access to all features and server resources. Can perform FPSA management activities such as adding users, unlocking users, changing permission categories, resetting passwords and starting audit trails. This category is created when the system is installed; therefore, it cannot be set through the console.
2 | NuPoint Voice Superuser. Access to all features and server resources with the exception of FPSA management.
3 | System Configuration. Access only to system configuration and network features.
4 | Mailbox Maintenance. Access only to mailbox maintenance features.
5 | Inquiry/Report Only. Access only to inquiry features such as Reports, Statistics, and Dump.
6 | Network Configuration. Access only to network and network-related features.

5. The system assigns a temporary password that is valid for 30 days. Write it down and give it to the user.

6. These settings take effect when you see the confirmation "<user ID> added."

## Unlocking a User ID

To unlock an FPSA user ID:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, and then (P) Passwords/Security.

2. Select (U) Unlock User and enter the User ID of the locked user.

3. Unlocking takes effect when you see the confirmation "<user ID> unlocked."

## Deleting a User ID

To delete an FPSA user ID:

1. From the Main Menu, select (S) System Maintenance, and then (P) Passwords/Security.
