Enabling the User Profiles Feature
When you initially install Kofax Capture, the User Profiles feature is disabled, and access to the Administration module is not restricted.
When the User Profiles feature is disabled, users are not required to log in when they launch a Kofax Capture module. As a result, no restrictions are placed on their access to batch classes, modules, or Kofax Capture administrative functions.
With user profiles enabled, all access rights defined in user profiles and group profiles become effective. As a result, users may be prompted for a user ID and password when they start a Kofax Capture module. When they enter the valid information, they are granted access to the module, provided the module is included in their user profile or group profile assignments.
When you enable the User Profiles feature, you may be prompted with a
Kofax Capture
- Login window the next time you start a module. By default, the
Admin
user ID appears in the
Login window with no password.
Once you have specified a password for any user with administrative rights, you cannot enable the User Profiles feature without first specifying the User ID and password of a user that has access rights to the Administration module. This helps prevent unauthorized users from enabling the feature and inadvertently locking all users out of virtually all Kofax Capture modules.
