The table on the User management page displays user account information and status, with one user account per row. By default, the table will display all enabled users accounts that are online and offline. To change which users are displayed, select or deselect the checkboxes above the table (Figure 1).

By clicking on the Send message button, the administrative user can send an e-mail notification about account creation. The dialog depends on the user database; an e-mail to a user who is not within an LDAP database (vide infra) is shown in Figure 2, while an e-mail to a user who is within an LDAP can be seen in Figure 3.
