How do I create a short name?

SARS users who will meet with students, e.g., advisors, tutors, coaches, etc., need a short name and a user name. The short name is what will appear on THE GRID in SARS Anywhere; the user name is the name they will use to log in to SARS.

SARS users who will not meet with students, e.g., support staff members, do not need a short name. They need only a user name.
