Users Settings

When you implement security, you must create a user record for each individual who will use Vantagepoint. Each user must have a unique username.

There are several methods for creating users:

Methods On the Users form
Recommended method: Create multiple users, associate usernames with employee numbers or records already entered in the Employees hub, and generate passwords all at one time. Click Other Actions > Generate Users.
Copy an existing user's record, modify the record, and save changes to create a new user. When you copy a user, the new user automatically inherits the first user's access rights and privileges, including record level security. Click Other Actions > Copy.
Create new users, who do or do not have an employee record in the Employees hub. Click + New User.

Vantagepoint verifies a user when the user logs in with a username and password. After the initial log in:

  • The user cannot change his or her username.
  • The user can change his or her password.
