After you have enabled the scale-out feature, you will need to use a user account to create folders and manage data. This section describes how to create users from EonOne for GS scale-out.

Create a Local User

1. Log in to EonOne using the GS appliance’s management IP.
2. Go to Device management > Privilege > Users.
3. Click Add to create a new user.
4. Go to the General tab and provide user information. Refer to the descriptions below.

   Name	Description
   Username	Specify the new username. No spaces are allowed.
   Password	Enter the password for this user account.
   Home directory	Create a home directory for this user. When you check the box, the home directory path will automatically appear. Choose a volume from the drop-down menu. Note: A home directory must be created on a volume of the primary appliance and cannot be migrated to a different volume or another appliance in the future.
   Password expiration	Specify the validity period of the user password. The user has to change the password when it expires.
