Once you reconfigure your LogonBox server to connect to another user directory, such as Active Directory, the Create User button on the users page will now create a user on that new directory.
If you have a use-case where you still need to create local users, this article will show you how to achieve this.
1. Create an Automation Task
Log in to the LogonBox Directory with your admin account.
Click Business Rules from the left menu and select Automations.
On the Automations Page, click Create.
On the Create Automation popup, enter a Name and select Create Local User as the Task.
For Principal Name, enter the username you wish to create. If you want to force the user to change their password on first login, keep the default for Force Password Change, otherwise turn this off.
For Generate Password, you can either accept the default to generate a random password, or you can turn this off and set a password.
In the Details tab, enter the user's full name and email/mobile if required.
Click Create to save the automation.
2. Create the user
Click the Actions button to the right of the new automation, then select Run Now.
You should now be able to see the new user in User Directory->Users.
You can easily filter just the local users by selecting All Local Accounts in the Filter dropdown.
If you want to create another user, simply edit the existing Automation and change the username/password and run this again.
If you want to create a number of users at once, please refer to the Bulk Importing Local Users article.
