## Creating Users or Administrators

You need administrator rights to add a new user or establish an additional administrator.

User type and user name

1. Enter the corresponding user name.
2. Select the desired user type: user or administrator.
   The user type is set to User by default. The sections Weekly profiles and User rights are available for users, in contrast to administrators. All other settings apply to both user types and will be used in the following description; however, reference will only be made to User.
3. Use the Active option to enable the new user immediately or later on.

Password

1. Enter a password and confirm it.
2. Use the Expires option if you want to require the user to change the password at regular intervals.
3. If the user is to change the original password upon the next login, select the Force change on next login option.
   Note: Activating this option automatically gives the user the "Change Password" right, even if it had been disabled before.
4. The Force Complex Password option ensures that users can only set secure passwords.
   A secure password has at least eight characters, consists of lowercase and uppercase letters, including at least one special character, one digit and one character. Furthermore, it cannot be one of the last thirteen passwords used on this user account. If you are trying to set a password that does not meet the criteria, a red frame around the text field will appear.
