Managing User Accounts

You create accounts and configure features and access privileges from either the administration console or using CLI commands.

The following are some of the account tasks you perform from the administration console:

Quickly create new accounts with the New Account Wizard

Create many new accounts at once with the Account Migration Wizard

View the date when an account was created

Find a specific account using the Search feature

Change account information

Add or delete an account to multiple distribution lists at one time, and view which lists the account is on

Create, change, and move alias addresses

Change password for a selected account

Set the time zone for an account

View an account’s mailbox

Change an account’s status and delete accounts

Reindex a mailbox

See the Zimbra administration console Help for information about how to perform these tasks from the administration console.

The following CLI commands are also available to help facilitate account management.

The CLI zmprov command can be used to add, modify, and view accounts, aliases, distribution lists, and Calendar resources. Most of the zmprov functions are available from the administration console.

The CLI zmmailbox command can be used for mailbox management. This command can help you provision new mailboxes, debug issues with a mailbox, and help with migrations. You can invoke zmmailbox from within zmprov.

The CLI zmaccts command runs a report that lists all the accounts, their status, when they were created and the last time anyone logged on. The domain summary shows the total number of accounts and their status.

See Zimbra CLI Commands for information about how to use these commands.
