Security

Deltek's security lets a system administrator grant or restrict a user's access to applications, forms, records, and options.

Create Roles

As the first step in setting up security, create user roles that reflect your enterprise's business rules. For example, create a marketing role that can only view those portions of Deltek that relate to marketing activities.

After you create roles, assign each user or a group of users to a role. Every user must have a role.

Use record level security to limit a user's access to specific records (specific opportunities, employees, and so on). For example, you may limit a marketing person's access to only those opportunities in a particular region of the country.

Create Users

Users are individuals who use Deltek. Every user must have a user record in Deltek. Create a user from scratch or from an existing Employees hub record, then assign the user to a role.

When a user logs in, the user can perform only those actions to which his or her security role has access.

Assign Passwords

To log into Deltek, each user must have a Deltek username and password. A system administrator establishes password policies and determines the username and password for each user. A user cannot change his or her username but can change his or her password.

Windows Integrated Security

Deltek supports Windows Integrated Security, which allows users to log in one time for both Windows and the Deltek application. Integrated Security logs a user into Deltek based on the user’s Windows domain network login. If a user is not logged into the company network, the user will be prompted for a network ID and password before he or she can log into Deltek.

You can use single sign-on functionality if you sign up for and configure Microsoft Azure Active Directory (Azure AD).
