Adding New Accounts

There is no specific number of accounts you must have; you can add as many as you wish, as long as

there is room on the disk. When your computer is brand new, the only accounts are the ones the system

software is stored in. You'll want to add more accounts from time to time as your business grows. To do

so, use the SYSACT command, following these steps:

1. If you want to see a list of the disk devices on your computer, type:

SYSTAT

RETURN

The end of the display lists the available disk devices. Decide what device you want to add the

accounts to.

2. Log into account [1,2] on any disk device (for example, DSK0:). Type:

LOG DSK0:[1,2]

RETURN

If you weren't already logged into another account, you'll need to enter your user name after the

LOG command. If there's a password for this account, you'll be asked for it, too.

3. Type

SYSACT

followed by the name of the device you want to add the accounts to, and press

RETURN

. For example:

SYSACT DSK1:

RETURN

4. SYSACT responds with its prompt symbol, an asterisk. If you'd like to see a list of all the things

SYSACT can do, type:

RETURN

5. From the list you see next, you can select different functions to perform. You want to add a new

account, so type

and the account number you want to add and press

RETURN

. For example:

*A 100,5

RETURN

6. SYSACT responds:

Password:

SYSACT asks if you want to protect the new account with a password. You can enter a password

of up to six characters (A - Z, 0-9, $), or you can just press the

RETURN

key if you don't want to

assign a password. If you do enter a password, whenever other users try to log into that account,

they have to type the password. If they don't know the password, they aren't allowed to log in.

7. You can see a list of all the account numbers on the disk device and their passwords by selecting

the L (List) function:

RETURN

8. When you are finished using the SYSACT command and are ready to return to AMOS command

level, select the E (end) option:

RETURN

SYSACT returns you to AMOS command level and the AMOS prompt symbol appears on your

screen.

For complete information on using the SYSACT command, see the SYSACT reference sheet in the

System Commands Reference Manual
