3.4 Users

The Users screen allows you to create and set up an user. In the User Definition section, you can assign a user an identification name and password to log on to the system. You can also assign the organization, division, and department where each user is located. Additional fields allow you to record information for contacting the user. You can also define the time frame within which a user has access to the system to ensure compliance to the company’s schedule. This is a very useful feature to prevent logins during scheduled maintenance.

The Responsibility field records the job function of the user and defines the level of access that user has within the system; in particular:
  • What menu items does the user have access to?
  • What transactions can the user perform on the Maintenance screen on the Customer Service screen?
  • Note:

    The system’s SUPERUSER responsibility grants access to the entire system. Give careful consideration to the number and type of users who receive this responsibility.
