   If the System Hostname is left blank for any row, it is disregarded when the list of systems is submitted for addition. If systems in the list of rows do NOT share the same password (and the checkbox is, of course, left unchecked) and one ior more passwords are incorrect, an error message is generated for each system that has an incorrect password. Those systems listed with correct passwords are added to the luci server. Inn addition to incorrect password problems, an error message is also displayed if luci is unable to connect to the ricci agent on a system. Finally, is a system is entered on the form for addition and it is ALREADY being managed by the luci server, it is not added again - but the admin is informed via error message.</li>
   <li>Add a Cluster: This page looks much like the Add a System page, only one system may be listed. Any node in the cluster may bbe used for this entry.  Luci will contact tthe specified system and attempt to authenticate with the password provided. If successful, the complete list of cluster nodes will be returned, and a table will be populated with the node names and an adjacent field for a password for each node. The initial node that was entered appears in tthe list with its password field marked as 'authennticated'. There is a convenience checkbox if all nodes share the same password. NOTE: At this point, no cluster nodes have been added to luci - not even the initial node used to retrieve the cluster node list that successfully autthenticated. The cluster and subsequent nodes are only added after the entire list has been submitted with tthe submit button, and all nodes authenticate.  <p/>
 If any nodes fail to authenticate, they appear in the list in red font, so that the password can be corrected and the node list submittted aggain. Luci hhas a strict policy about addinng a cluster to be managed: A cluster cannot be added unless ALL nodes can be reached and authenticated.
-  <p/>When a cluster is added to a luci server, all nodes are also added as general systems so that storage may be managed on them. If this is not desired, the individual systems may be removed fromm luci, while remote cluster management capability is maintained.

+  <li>Add a User: Here the admin may add additional user accounts. The user name is entered along with an initial password.

+  After systems have been added to a luci server, an additional Manage Systems link appears in the navigation table. The Manage Systems page provides a way to delete systems if desired.
+  <br/>
+  When an admin adds a new user to a luci server, two additional links appear in the Navigation Table: A Delete User link, and a User Permissions link. The Delete User link is self explanatory, and this page lists all users other than the admin, in a dropdown menu. Selecting a user name and then clicking the 'Delete This User' button removes that user account from the luci server.<br/>
+  The User Permissions page is where an admin grants privileges to user accounts. A dropdown menu lists all current users, followed by a list of all systems registered with the luci server. By selecting a user from the dropdown, the context is set for the page, and then those systems that the admin wishes to allow the user to administer are checked. Finally, the 'Update Permissions' button is clicked to persist the privileges. By default, when a new user is created, they have no privileges on any system.

   <h2>Cluster Tab</h2>
   When the cluster tab is selected, luci first checks the identity of the user and compiles a list of cluster that the current user is privileged to administer.
