Enter the new user details

Authenticate By: determines if the user’s details will be saved on the internal appliance or the Far Edge Active Directory.

Username: The name that the user will use to log into your Wise Owl Legal software with.

Login Timeout: The time frame that Wise Owl Legal will automatically log off, if the software is left inactive. This is only a failsafe and should not be relied upon to log out of Wise Owl Legal.

Initial Password Style: Choosing a complex, strong password is essential in keeping unauthorised people from assessing your data. A good password has the following characteristics:

It is hard for someone else to guess
It is easy for you to remember
It is not reused on another website

Wise Owl Legal can automatically generate you a passphrase to use as your password. A passphrase is a series of unrelated words strung together, for example ‘correct horse battery staple’.

Roles: A quick way to allocate individual user rights is by selecting the most appropriate user role.
