Owner's Manual

Security 73
- Fax Number — Select a fax number type from the drop-down list, then enter a fax number for
the user.
-
Password — (Required) Enter the password for this user. For security purposes, the characters
appear as a series of asterisks. The default security does not require the password to contain
mixed-case letters, numbers, or special characters. Once a user has been created, this field
becomes read-only.
-
Confirm Password — (Required) Re-enter the password for this user. If this entry does not match
the Password entry, an error dialog appears and both password fields empty.
Limits
- Effective Date — (Required) The date when this account becomes effective. This field lets
you create accounts in advance. The accounts remain dormant until the Effective Date
arrives.
- Login Expires — Indicates whether the login for this user expires. If you select this option, the
application activates the Expiration Date field.
- Expiration Date — Specifies the date on which the login expires. This field is not active unless
you select the Login Expires option.
Specify an expiration date by entering the date directly in the text field, in the proper format
(by default: month/day/year). You can also click the Command button (...) and select a date
from the calendar graphic that appears.
If a user is disabled, typically by login failure, the Expiration Date becomes the current date.
The user cannot log in again until you reset the Expiration Date to some future date or clear
the
Login Expires option.
-
Password Expires — When selected, this option sets an expiration policy for the password of the
associated user. If you set password expiration, you must set an expiration date. If you do not
set password expiration, the password for this user never expires.
-
Password Expire Date — This field is active only if you selected the Password Expires option.
-
Force Password Change — The selected user must change the password on the next login.
Groups
The Groups portion of this screen lets you determine which user groups, if any, to associate with a
user (see User Group Manager on page 77 for information about how to create the groups that
appear here). Since you grant permissions to defined groups, you can grant or deny users access to
certain functions based on their group associations.
Available groups appear in the left tab, and groups currently assigned to the selected user appear in
the right tab. Use the controls in this tab to assign groups to or remove assignments from the
current user.
