The user manager has some of the major changes between Crush4 and Crush5.  If you were used to the Crush4 user manager, it will seem very strange and hard to get used to at first...until you understand how it changed, then it should make complete sense.

Read on below for a summary of how it changed, and how things work now.  If nothing else, read this as its critically important to understand the change to prevent confusion.


Notice the title of the window.  The title of the window tells you what 'user group' you are currently working with.  In this example its 'lookup_9090'. The top left three buttons are new user, duplicate user, and delete user.  If you know a username, you can type it into the filter box to quickly find the user in the list.  Or if you want to see all users inheriting from that user, enter their username in the inheritance box.

Users are not all listed on the left.  What used to be 'groups' are not listings of certain users.  A user can belong to multiple groups now.  A group by itself does not imply inheritance.  Read on for how that works.

* Major Difference from CrushFTP4 to CrushFTP5


Further, if you 'control click' on the add button, everyone in the current group will get this new user's setting added to them.  This is a batch update.  You can also control click on the checkbox on the right for a user who was already inherited and it will be removed from everyone in the group.
