User management: Overview

Where you set up users depends on which part of the DOCUMENTS system that they will be using:

 

For security reasons, information about defined users cannot be exported. You must re-define all users when you install a new version of DOCUMENTS.

 

Administration and Production modules

  1. Determine the level of user management to use for these modules. (Information about the levels of user management that are available.)

  2. Adjust the level of user management and related settings.

  3. If basic or role-based user management is enabled, define a user.

  4. If basic or role-based user management is enabled, determine whether you want to use user groups in your system. If so, define user groups.

  5. If role-based user management is enabled, define the roles you want to use.

  6. Optional: Use Windows authentication.

Tip: Ensure at least one user (a system administrator) is assigned all rights in both the Administration and Production modules.

Note: If basic or role-based user management is enabled, you can control which actions users, user groups, and roles are allowed to do. (Information about user rights.) These settings are specified when defining users, user groups, and roles.

 

Invoice modules (Invoice Manager, Invoice Verify, Invoice Optimize)

  1. If you want users to log in with their user names and passwords, enable user authorization. (More information about user authorization.)

  2. Define a user.

  3. Optional: Use Windows authentication.

Tip: Ensure at least one user has administrator rights. When defining a user, select Administrator rights(inthe User dialog: Access rights).
