User Maintenance


In order to maintain user accounts you must start an Administrator session. It is not possible to start an Administrator session while there is an active user session.

The administrator session is terminated when the User List is closed.


User List

To open, Adjust-click on !EnBank's icon on the Icon Bar and enter the Administrator Password when prompted. For new installations, the administrator password will be blank.

The figure above shows the User List View with the user account 'ALL' selected.


Button Bar

 Add a User Account.

 Delete selected users.

 Change Administrator Password.


Adding a User Account

User Accounts are added via the User Maintenance Dialogue.
To open the dialogue you can either:


Modifying a User Account

Double-click on a user entry with select to launch the User Maintenance Dialogue in Update mode for that user. Note: once an account has been created, it is not possible to change the User ID.

To change a User ID:

  1. Create a new user account.
  2. Change the account ownership for all accounts owned by the 'old user' to the 'new user'.
  3. Delete the old user account.

Deleting User Accounts

Select the users you wish to delete then either:

Deleting a user account does not delete any accounts owned by the user. Whether the accounts can still be accessed will depend on their security access level.


Changing the Administrator Password

Select-click on the Administrator Password button to open the Password Maintenance Dialogue. Enter the desired password into both the Password and Verify fields. Click on Change to change the password. If the Password and Verify fields are not equal you will get a 'Password Verification Failure' and the password will not be changed.

User Detail Field Group


User ID

This is the identity for the user account and must be unique.
The User ID is used to start User Sessions and to specify Account ownership.
The field is UPPER-CASE only, lower-case characters may be entered, but are converted to upper-case.


Name

Descriptive name for the user.


Privilege

The privilege level for the user.
In addition to their own accounts, users can access Accounts belonging to other users where their privilege level exceeds the access level of the Account.


Password Field Group

Normally you would expect the user to maintain their own password form the Account List View. However, their initial password can be specified here. Both the Password and Verify fields must match to be accepted.

When a user record is modified, the current password is not made available. Modifying a user account requires that you specify a new password. This restriction ensures that a user account can not be changed without the users knowledge, or at least, knowledge of the users current password.
