Use the 7-2-2 User List window to set up new users and user passwords in your company. You can also copy existing user defaults to create new users.
You set up security for each individual company, not for the entire program. Each company can use a different list of users and passwords.
Within a company, security groups control access. After assigning users to security groups, grant the access rights to the security groups.
Caution! Security does not prevent access to databases by highly skilled computer users. Security only manages data access through Sage 100 Contractor.
When setting up user names and passwords, we suggest you:
Print a list of the user names and security groups to include in your files. When employees have questions about access, you can refer to the printed list.
Only company administrators have rights to set up user names and passwords.
In the Integrated Security cell, if you want Sage 100 Contractorto authenticate the user by evaluating their Windows ID and password, type "Y."
Note: Integrated Security works only with the Windows authentication method. If SQL Server authentication has been assigned to the user, enter "N" in this cell.
In the Group 5 cell, click once in the cell, and then from the drop-down list, select a security group.
For example, employees with access to accounts payable could be in Group 5.
