Edit User
To access advanced features of the application, all administrative users
must supply a valid user name and password. All user accounts are managed
through the Edit User form. To access this form, click the Users
button on the Administration panel of the
Main form.
The Edit User form is actually two forms, a "parent" form
(the List Maintenance Codes form) that
lists all existing users, and a "child" form that lets you add
a new item or edit the properties of a single item in the list.
The Edit User child form includes the following data fields.
- User Name - Enter the full name of the user.
- Login ID - Enter the name that the authorized user will enter to
identify himself or herself to the application.
- Password - Enter the password that the user will enter to confirm
authorization of the Login ID. When editing an existing user account,
leaving this field blank will retain the current password setting.
- Confirm - When supplying a password in the Password
field, re-type the password in this field to confirm that it was typed
properly. Both of these fields must match before the record can be saved.
Case is significant, as are space characters.
- Security Group - Select the security group appropriate for this user. Security groups
are defined through the Edit Security Group form.
- Active - Select this field to indicate that the user account is active. Only
active users may access the advanced features of the application.
To save changes to the item, click the OK button, or use the
Cancel button to abandon changes to the item.
