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 | .
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 | .
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 their username.
- The user can change their password.
