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.

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.
Configuring user settings
You can configure user settings, such as the settings for storerooms, insert sites, GL accounts, locale, language, time zone, and screen reader access. Configure the settings for a single user or for a selected group of users.
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.
