Adding User Profiles

Access the User Profile and Preferences form.

1. Complete the following fields:

   • User ID

     Enter a unique value to identify the user profile.

   • Who's Who LineID

     Enter the line identification number of the who's who record to which this user profile corresponds.

   • Language

     Select a language preference from user-defined code (UDC) table 01/LP to specify the language to use on forms and printed reports. Before you specify a language, a code for that language must exist at either the system level or in your user preferences.

   • Justification

     If you have selected Arabic in the Language field, select an option to determine the order in which to read text.

   • Set Accessibility Mode

     Select Yes to enable accessibility mode for the user. If you select this option, the system enables the JD Edwards EnterpriseOne web client to be fully accessible through the JAWS screen reader software for visually impaired users. This option is set to No by default when a user profile is created.

   • Date Format

     Specify the format of a date as it is stored in the database.

   • Date Separator Character

     Specify the character to use when separating the month, day, and year of a given date. If you enter an asterisk (*), the system uses blank for the date separator. If you leave the field blank, the system uses the system value for the date separator.

   • Decimal Format Character

     Specify the number of positions to the right of the decimal you want to use. If you leave this field blank, the system value is used as the default.

   • Country

     Specify the country in which the user resides. The system displays country-specific forms based on this value.

   • Time Zone

     Specify a code to associate a time zone with a user's profile. This code represents the user's preferred time zone, and it must be a valid value from UDC table (H91/TZ).

   • Time Format

     Specify the user's preferred format for time-of-day.

   • Daylight Savings Rule

     Specify a value identifying a daylight savings rule. Use daylight savings rules to adjust time for a geographic and political locale.

   • New Password and Verify Password

     Enter the user password that JD Edwards EnterpriseOne uses to validate during the sign on process. Use the following guidelines:

     • The new password cannot be the same as the old password.

     • The new password cannot be the same as the user ID.

     • The new password must be at least six characters in length.

     System administrators using Administrative Password Revisions to reset a user's password are not restricted by these rules. Often, standards exist for resetting a forgotten password. For example, a new password reset by a system administrator may need to be the same as the user ID or it may simply be the word "password" each time. Regardless, the new value specified in this field will become effective when the user signs on to JD Edwards EnterpriseOne for the next time.

   • Security Access

     Specify whether the user profile is active.

2. To assign user roles, click the search button in the Role field.

3. On the Manage User's Role Relationship form, select the role to assign to the user.

4. Click Assign.

5. Click Close.

6. On the Use Profile and Preferences form, click Close.
