The Scripts page displays.

3. Scroll to the bottom of the Scripts page and click the dropdown next to Upload Script

4. Click Create Script

The Create Script window displays.

Run As: To run the script as a system administrator, tick System. To run the script as a current (local) user, tick Current User.
