□ | 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 |
• | To enter Login information and assign a Employee Group for a new Employer. |
• | From the Main Menu, Select the Security Menu. |
• | Click Add/Delete Users. |
Add/Update Users Form
• | Click Add ("+") |
• | Employee - Select an Employee using the Drop-Down Selection List provided. |
• | The Employee may be an individual, or a generic sign-in for certain Employee Groups each of which have the same Access Rights. |
• | In so doing you may set up a login for Guests, basic Operators, clerks, etc. that have specific duties that match a predefined Employee Group's rights. |
• | Password - Enter a Password for this User at least six characters in length. |
• | Confirm Password - Repeat the previous entry. |
• | Employee Group - Assign an Employee Group using the Drop-Down Selection List provided. |
• | Central Station Supervisor - Check the Central Station Supervisor box, if appropriate. |
• | Save ("ü") the record. |
• | For instructions on how to change the assigned Password, see Change Passwords. |
□ | Removing a User: |
• | From the Main Menu, Select the Security Menu and Click Add/Delete Users. |
• | In the Current User List box, Click on the User name to be deleted. |
• | Click Delete (the Dash "-") to remove the User name. |
• | Answer Yes to Confirm the deletion. |
► | Note:This process only deletes the User, not the actual 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. |
