Whether creating a new username or updating an existing user's profile, administrators are sent to the Security window. From this window administrators can manage all pertinent information regarding a user's security, passwords, log-on specifics, etc. For detailed information on the Security window refer to the Security, General Tab.

New User Option:

The New User button allows administrators to create new users within the system. It is a mandatory requirement to have at least one employee entered on the system. See the Settings manual/ Employee section for information on how to set up an employee. The window also allows administrators to create group profiles. A group profile allows administrators to create one set of security settings and then have other users adopt the security from that group profile.
