Creating Administrator Accounts

In this step you will create the accounts for the various administrators responsible for the groups created and populated in steps 1 and 2.

You will create accounts for the following administrative roles:

To create the administrator accounts:

At the command line, as the "pmx" user, run the following commands:
pmx-user --add --username GeorgeC --fullname "George Cassidy" --email GeorgeC@example.com --passphrase sophos
pmx-user --add --username FrankB  --fullname "Frank Booth"  --email FrankB@example.com --passphrase sophos
pmx-user --add --username SusanS --fullname "Susan Summers"  --email SusanS@example.com --passphrase sophos
pmx-user --add --username JerryS --fullname "Jerry Sanders"  --email JerryS@example.com --passphrase sophos
pmx-user --add --username TanyaH --fullname "Tanya Harrison"  --email TanyaH@example.com --passphrase sophos

A confirmation message is displayed for each user added.
