  • V-Suite User Password - The V-Suite account password. The password must meet the password complexity settings. The password expiration will comply with the password policy settings.  Click here to learn more about V-Suite authentication settings.
  • Account Status - Either Enabled or Disabled. Select Disabled if you do not (yet) want the user to be able to sign-in.


Windows Authentication:

  • Allow Windows Authentication - Select this check box if you allow the user to optionally sign in with her/his windows account.

    Alternatively, you may enter (at least 3 characters) of the start of the username, first name or last name and click the Check Name button. The system will attempt to find a windows user matching the name you entered. If more than one user is found you will be prompted to select the user you wish to add.
