General Tab

The 'General' tab is a part of the user record and is where the User's name, login, password, default Location, phone number, and email address are entered. This tab can be used to link the User Record to an Employee Record. If the records are already linked, the linked Employee Record will be displayed. Terminated Users can also be deactivated on this tab.

Users & Security Limits 

Users who have permissions related to user management, including creating and editing user roles, permissions, assigned locations, and report roles, can only edit within their own access level. Learn more about user editing restrictions and access levels.

If a user is marked as 'Active' again, User Roles will need to be added back to the user record to give the user access to the system.

Can grant access beyond personal level

When enabled, the requirement to share a common location, and the limitation of adding/removing access based on the editing users permissions is lifted. Users with ‘Grant access beyond personal level’ or 'Grant access override’, can edit users without restriction.

Users with the setting enabled can:

  • Add any permissions or user roles to any user - even if they do not have the permission themselves.

  • Add or remove any location access - no matter the location access they are granted.

  • Add or remove any report roles - without regard to their own report access.

Only users with: full permission access, access to all locations, and access to all reports can view/edit this setting for other users.

To have the ‘Grant access beyond personal level’ setting enabled, the user must have one of the following permissions:

  • Administration → Users → Edit Users

  • Administration → Users → Create & Impersonate Users

  • Administration → Users → Report Roles → Create/Edit/Delete Report Roles

  • Administration → Users → user Roles → Create/Edit/Delete user Roles & Permissions
