User Maintenance

This maintenance screen is used to

  • create a new user and assign their initial password and permissions
  • edit user permissions
  • deactivate a user without removing them from the system
  • delete a user (???), can a user be deleted, how?

You must create a new user and assign their permissions before that user can log into the system.

Each record in this table represents a single user. The core component of these entries is the user name and the value must be a unique entry in this table. The user name may be the user’s network ID or an arbitrary name assigned by the administrator. The system is able to automatically check for the network user name that is logged in to the windows session and default it in the user login screen.

An individual may have multiple user records, multiple logins, each with different permissions. For example, you may have a user with an assignment as an administrator and an assignment as an intake clerk .

User data is saved in several database tables. See User Definitions for more information on tables, fields and definitions.
