User Settings In The Control Panel

After logging into the control panel, click on the “Account Settings” icon and then click on the “User Settings” icon. There are a few things we need to enable at the “User Settings” screen before proceeding.

Account Number Prefix: This field is where you can input a custom username prefix that will be used for the customer’s signup with the auto signup script.

Min Password Length: This field serves a dual role. First, it acts as a password policy, in that when your users change their password they will have to make their password at least as long as the length you specify. The other role that it serves is that when Helm emails out passwords to customers automatically, the passwords will be randomly generated and will be the length you specify here.

Enable Remote Auto-Signup Script: If this auto-signup is not enabled, the script that Helm generates will not work.

Account Vetting: With account vetting enabled, whenever a new user is added to the system (either manually or through the auto signup script) an email alert is sent to the email address specified. You then have to login to Helm and mark the account as approved. If vetting is not enabled, all accounts are created – including those through the auto signup script. Customers are free to login to their account and add their domain name, without any verification.
