When user accounts are created in the Emptoris® Strategic Supply Management Platform, internal and external users can log into the applications and complete activities that are assigned to them.
Every user account is associated with a user name for the user in the application. Each user name must be unique and identifies the user.
When a user account is created for a user who is associated with an internal organization, an internal user is created. When a user account is created for a user who is associated with an external organization, or if no organization is specified, an external user is created.
Internal users can be assigned to user groups. External users do not have any user groups.
The following table lists the properties of user accounts.
| Property | Description |
|---|---|
| Individual | Name of the user. |
| User name | Unique identifier of the user. The user name is used to log into the application. |
| Password | Status of the password. |
| Suppress task notifications to users | When selected, users do not receive any notifications for tasks except the presentation and
execution tasks. When cleared, all notifications that relate to tasks are sent to the user. To edit this property, go to User name > Preferences and edit the Send an email when a new inbox item arrives option in the Emptoris Strategic Supply Management Platform. |
