Field	Description
Create New Users	This action only applies if the field “Selection Criterion Specification No.” has been completed. When you select this action, Maconomy will create users on the basis of entries in the database relation specified in the field “Database Relation” in this workspace. A user is created for each entry in the relation that matches the selection criteria specified in the field “Selection Criterion Specification No.” and for which Maconomy has not already created a user. The process described here is also run whenever a user of the current type is created in the workspace Users. In this case, however, instead of creating a user for each entry that matches the specified selection criteria, Maconomy only creates one user and assigns it to the entry specified on the new user (see the introduction to the workspace Users and the fields in the island “Object Reference” in that workspace). Maconomy transfers various information from the template user assigned to the current user type to the information cards of the users created. Furthermore, the users created are granted access to the same access levels, actions, and groups as the template user. If the field “New” is marked in the island User Specific Access Level, or in both the island User Specific Access Level and Access List, Maconomy will create a number of access levels and assign the individual new users to them. This procedure is described in detail in the sections on the fields “New” in the islands User Specific Access Level and Access List. If the workspace System Information indicates that passwords are required, each user created is assigned a password according to the rules set up in the workspaces System Information and Access Information, and Maconomy creates a file in the Maconomy folder, containing the user names and passwords assigned to each of the new users. However, such a file is only created if no standard password has been specified in the workspace Access Information, as the users are otherwise just assigned the standard password.
