The System Administrator has control of who may access the Sybase SQL Database.
This is the database that contains all of the information stored in MKMS.
A person who has been given access to this file is called a System User.

 

The access control management role of the Administrator allows that Administrator to add, delete, and update a System User's user name and their related password, and to assign the user to an Employee Group.
The Employee Group assignment establishes what information Forms, processes and reports this person may access, view, add to, modify, and/or delete.
Combined with the Employee Group functionality, User definitions provide complete control of who may see what, enter what, and do what, within MKMS.

 

An Employee cannot access MKMS until they have been given a User Name and Password, and have been assigned to a Employee Group.
There are three (3) Users defined by default which should be replaced as all of the User Names and Passwords, Employee Groups, and Employees are entered.
1.Admin with a password of "admin".
Add a new User.
Select ADMIN as the Employee and then enter a User Name and Password.
2.Operator with a password of "operator".
Add new operator type of Users as needed.
For at least one of them, select Operator as the Employee and then enter a User Name and Password.
3.Guest with a password of "guest".
Add a new User.
Select Guest as the Employee and then enter a User Name and Password.
You may enter as many User Names and Password for your Employees, as required.
Remember that not all Employees will need access to MKMS, so you do not have to assign them access unless actually required as part of their job responsibilities..

 

To Enter a User

HelpFilesDeleteUser

Answer Yes to Confirm the deletion.
Note:This process only deletes the User, not the actual Employee record.

 

HelpFilesUsersDeleteEmployeeToo

 

To completely remove this Employee, you should also delete the Employee record.
However, in most cases, the Employee already has transactions linked to it (Service Calls, Sales, etc.) and so cannot not be deleted.
Instead, in the Employee Form, you could simply enter an Ends date using the Drop-Down Date Selection Box provided which would automatically cancel that Employee's Login access and delete the User record on this Add/Delete Users Form.
