Creating Local Profiles in XP

I'm starting to test XP workstations in a NetWare 5.1 environment. I'm trying to create multiple local profiles with different amounts of access to the local machine. I will then user Novell ZENWorks to determine what local profile a user gets when they log into the NetWare network. It works just fine for 1 local profile, but I can't figure out how to add a second. Where do I add another profile and how? When I right click my computer and select profiles, there isn't an option to add. Obviously I'm in the wrong place and can't find the right one. Can anyone help?

Thanks.

I guess i dont understand what you are trying to do...

What does Zenworks have to do with managing your profiles?
You can add users to the system as you normally would in "Users and Passwords" logon once as that user, then you should be able to adjust the logon script to point to the correct local profile.

XP and Novell are not very nice right now, the profiles are one issue.
Global policies between Microsoft and novells associated policy packages are a bitch.

I agree with SaigonK,

You could also go to :

Start >> Control Panel >> Administrative Tools >> Computer Management >> Local Users and Groups >> Users >> right click and select New User.

Then go to >> Groups (under Local Users and Groups) and manipulate the permissions and access rights.

I'm not sure if that's what you're looking for but GL,
