Windows SBS 2011 Essentials makes it possible to perform common administrative tasks by using the Windows SBS 2011 Essentials Dashboard. The Users page of the Dashboard provides the following:

  • A list of user accounts, which displays:

    • The name of the user.

    • The Logon name for the account.

    • Whether or not the user account has remote access permission. Remote access permission for a user account is either Allowed, or Not allowed.

    • The level of access that is assigned to the user account. You can assign either Standard user access, or Administrator access for a user account.

    • The user account status. A user account is either Active, Inactive, or Incomplete.

  • A details pane with additional information about a selected user account.

  • A tasks pane that includes:

    • A set of user account administrative tasks such as viewing and removing user accounts, and changing passwords.

    • Tasks that allow you to globally set or change settings for all user accounts in the network.

The following table describes the various user account tasks that are available in Windows SBS 2011 Essentials Dashboard. Some of the tasks are user account-specific, and they are only visible when you select a user account in the list.
