Add new Users

• Go to the remeis internal homepage -> admin -> LDAP
• Fill out the necessary fields, including a valid email address. If possible, also fill out the fields for room and telephone number.
• Log into LDAP, go to import and copy the text of the previous step. **important**: if the user is external, "current" in the first line has to be changed to "external"
• set the password of the user on crux: sudo passwd [username]
• log in: ssh username@phoenix
• currently only for X-ray group members: activate the X-ray scripts in the .cshrc
• Set the quota (on phoenix), using a prototype which has normal quota sudo edquota -p [prototype] [username] (normal Quota is 8GB softlimit and 12GB hardlimit; it can be manually edited/shown with edquota -u user)
• if desired (in most cases), create a folder for the user at /userdata/data/[username]
• send Email to admin about the new user
