How users are handled

Users can create loss events in OpenPages® Loss Event Entry without a user account for OpenPages. A dedicated user group that includes ten dedicated users, one for each supported locale, is included in OpenPages Loss Event Entry. When users access OpenPages Loss Event Entry, they do not need to enter a user ID and password. The system automatically logs them in to OpenPages Loss Event Entry with the dedicated user associated with the locale.

Users with access to OpenPages can create loss events as they always have or choose to use OpenPages Loss Event Entry. However, OpenPages users cannot log in to both at the same time in the same browser. Instruct your OpenPages users that they must log out of OpenPages when they want to use OpenPages Loss Event Entry. If you want to force OpenPages users to use OpenPages Loss Event Entry, you can add Loss Event to the list of objects that are disabled for New. For more information, see Controlling the availability of object types with the New button on Grid Views. Additionally, the profile and role template assignments for OpenPages users is disregarded when they use OpenPages Loss Event Entry.
