Automating New-User Creation

When dealing with many different account variations, it sometimes becomes difficult to manage accounts, especially when new accounts need to be created or imported, such as when new students are added to a school database every year. To help limit the time spent configuring new accounts, consider creating an account preset with all the managed preferences already set. An easy way to do this is to create a separate account, which may be called PresetUser A or PresetUser B (see Lesson 8 on creating new users), that has all the tested presets already done. Then, when a new account is needed, that particular preset is chosen before the new account is created, and all the managed preferences are instantly applied to that user account.
