====== New User ======

The configured //New User// module is executed during [[server:Terminal]] Server new user registrations.

The name of the New User module (by default, ''newuser'') is configured in [[util:SCFG]]->System->Loadable Modules->New User.

The [[http://cvs.synchro.net/cgi-bin/viewcvs.cgi/exec/newuser.js|default new user module]] is ''[[dir:exec]]/newuser.js'' and supports the following configuration options in the ''[newuser]'' section of the ''[[dir:ctrl]]/[[config:modopts.ini]]'' file:
