10.8. Maintain Users

10.8.1. User

The Maintain Users section enables system administrators to set up and maintain user accounts, passwords, and associated application privileges. This section can only be accessed by users who have been granted the "MaintainUsers" system privilege—a privilege typically reserved for system administrators. We recommend that you restrict access to this section to a limited number of people. The following screen will appear when you select the "Maintain Users" option:

Maintain Users

The "Maintain Users" screen displays information on all existing users, including username, proper name, and status. To include inactive users in the display, select the "Show Inactive Users" option.

To the far right of the screen, the following buttons are available:

CLOSE

Closes the screen, returning you to the application desktop.

PRINT

Runs the report associated with this screen.

NEW

Opens screen for creating a new user.

EDIT

Enables you to edit highlighted users. The edit screen is the same as that for creating a new user—except that when editing, the fields will contain user information. Double-clicking on a user will also bring you to the editing screen.
