Password Editor

User Profiles, Passwords, and System Policies are edited from the Password editor.

Users & Groups

Multiple User Roles are available, allowing persons accessing SDSpro to be permitted or limited to performing certain functions within the software.  The ability to add, modify, and delete data depends on the authorization granted to the specific user name.

1. From Special Functions, select Password Editor.

2. The Password Editor tab will appear:

 

4. Password Editor Tabs

A.User Profiles Tab

B.System Policies Tab

C.ODBC Connections Tab (Enterprise customers)

 

User Profile Tab

The User Profiles tab allows an SDSpro Administrator to create new User Names and link them to specific employees. The Administrator can also specify other characteristics of the User Names such as the dates the User Name begins and ceases to be valid.

 

 

The default installation of SDSpro contains specific User Names and Groups that contain those User Names. Each User belongs to one Group. Each Group can have many Users.  Standard password modification features and profile settings are supported.

To create or modify a User Profile:

1. Select the User Name in the scrolling list from the User Name field OR click on the New button.

2. Enter the User Name for a new profile or edit the existing User Name to modify an existing profile.

3. Enter or Edit Assigned Group, Password, and associated Date fields.

4. Click Select to choose an employee record to link to the User Name.

5. Click Save to save changes or the Cancel button to discard changes.

6. Check the User Must Change Password at Next Login check box to force the SDSpro Administrator to change the password associated with the User Profile the next time a user logs in.

7. Check the Account Disabled check box to prevent a Login using this User Profile.

 

User Roles

Multiple User Roles are available to allow different work groups to access the system with different privileges.  The ability to add, modify, and delete data depends on the authorization granted to the User Role.

 

 

System Policies Tab

The System Policies tab allows global password behaviors to be implemented.  

 

By selecting Database Owner Manages Security, a special User Name will be created called “Database Owner”. This will be the only User Name which will have access to the Password editor after being created. By default, the Database Owner password is “dbo” and must be changed the first time the Database Owner successfully logs on. Once created, only the Database Owner will have privileges to access the Password editor.

To remove the Database Owner after being created, the Database Owner must successfully Login to the system and de-select Database Owner Manages Security.
