Adding Users to the System

In multi-user environments, each user must have a unique User Name (and Password, if desired). The Admin user sets up User Names in Security Manager.

Passwords, which are optional but can add extra security, can be setup in two ways:

• By the Admin user during this process of adding a new user; or
• By users themselves after their user profile has been created. See Adding, Editing, or Removing User Passwords.

A Standard License includes three total user licenses (Admin plus two other users). If you need more than three users to be able to simultaneously access the system, you must upgrade to an Unlimited License.

Only the Admin user or users with Security Manager rights may access Security Manager.

To add a new user:

1. Click the Tools menu; then, select Security Manager.

Security Manager (Users tab)

2. Click New.

New User dialog box

3. In the User Name field, enter a user name (up to 20 characters).

4. In the Password field, enter a user password if desired.

Passwords are case sensitive.

Users can also create their own passwords if desired. See Adding, Editing, or Removing User Passwords.

5. In the Available groups pane, select the group to which the new user will be assigned.

See Default User Names and Groups.

6. Click Add --> to move the selected group to the Assigned Groups pane.
7. Click OK.
