Buttons

Modify Profile- Saves any changes you have made
Reset- Removes any unsaved changes you have made
Cancel- Removes any unsaved changes and returns to the main NetDB page
Refresh Session- Updates the current parameters of your session. Mostly used when a network consultant has given you more groups and you wish to use them in your current session without logging out and logging back in.

Associated Fields:

Name - This is your original SUNet ID, also known as kerberos principal. In other words, this is the account name that you use to login to Stanford Web Auth pages or PC-Leland or MacLeland.

Comment -  Comments added probably by the account creator. This field is searchable with Full Search.

LNA Department - You are considered the local network administrator for these departments.

Record Access - This lists the records that you can create, modify or delete. You must be in the same Group as the record to modify or delete it. "All Records" means you can modify any type of record which shares a Group with you.

Member Groups - This is a list of Groups that you belong to. You can modify or delete records that share a Group with you, if you have the correct record access. You can add Nodes to a Domain or use IP addresses in an address space if you share Groups with the Domain and address space. "All Groups" means you have rights to all groups

Default Group - Records that you create will automatically be placed in your default Group. You can change your default to be to any of your member Groups. Note that all Users are in the Stanford Group so, for best security, do not make Stanford your default Group.

Default Domain - This is the Domain used when you do not specify a Domain when creating a Node. For example, if your default Domain is "stanford.edu" and you create Node "MyNode", the full name of this Node is "MyNode.stanford.edu". You can change your default Domain by selecting from the list of Domains that you share a Group with.

Starting Address - When you create a Node NetDB uses your starting address to find the next available address and assigns that address to the node. You can change your starting address to any address in any address space you're allowed to use.
