Adding Users to the System

Each user must have a unique User Name and Password. The Admin user sets up User Names and Passwords in Security Manager.

Passwords are required and provide extra security. They are setup by the Admin user when adding new users to the system.

User licensing is new for ATX 2016 and each product package includes a specific number of licenses. For each standalone or workstation the installation that is activated, a user license is now required. Should you need additional user licenses, please contact your Account Manager at 866-345-4172.
