Working with users
You manage users by adding them, by assigning them to security
groups, by changing general ledger accounts for users, and by performing
other administrative tasks.
Adding users
To manage users, you can create records that contain user names, passwords, and security profiles. These records determine which applications, options, and data that user can access.
Assigning users to security groups
To manage security settings and to grant user privileges, you can assign users to security groups. New users are assigned to the default group (MAXDEFLTREG) and the group for all users (MAXEVERYONE). The default group is used to give newly registered users basic privileges, and the group for all users is used to specify global settings.
Authorizing users to assign other users to security groups
When you create a security group, you are authorized to assign users to that group. As an administrator, you can authorize a user to assign other users to security groups.
Changing persons associated with users
You can manage your work force information by associating user IDs with specific person records. Once an association is no longer being used, you can reuse the user ID with another person record.
Changing the status of multiple users
You can either allow or prevent a user from logging in by changing the status for the user.
Changing the status of users
You can either allow or prevent a user from logging in by changing the status for the user.
Changing user settings
You can change user settings, such as the settings for storerooms and insert sites, and settings for screen reader access.
Implementing security for users
You must implement security for users, such as specifying security groups, specifying passwords, and specifying security profiles.
Copying users
If you are creating a user record and want to use settings that are similar to those in an existing record, you can copy the existing one.
Deleting users
To manage employee information, you can delete user records that you no longer need.
Deleting security groups from user profiles
To manage the security privileges associated with user records, you can delete a security group from a user profile.
