Managing users
User records contain identifying information and security profiles that determine the applications, options, and data that a user can access. Users are added in the administrative console of Maximo® Application Suite. Certain aspects of user records are managed in Maximo Application Suite. You use Maximo Manage to manage their authorizations, or security privileges and some default settings.
