Description

Set up user groups so that people who perform similar tasks within the organization have the same privileges. In the system, you can copy the header and child information from one user group to another. You can also edit user groups as necessary.

The system is configured with two user groups: R5, containing one user, and R5EMPTY, containing no users. The R5 user group has full access to all functions, including data setups, system setups, and system administration setups. R5EMPTY has no permissions. After installing Infor EAM, change the user password immediately. Only the system administrator should have access to this user.

After setting up users within a user group, the system administrator cannot delete the group. Hexagon strongly discourages using the predefined R5 and R5EMPTY user groups as default user groups because menus and authorizations of these two groups might be replaced during system upgrades.

After setting up new system user groups, view the users that are associated with user groups on the User Groups form.

You can also set screen-level permissions for data manipulation. Screen authorization for user groups is critical to database security and data integrity. Specify the functions to which user groups have access and specify the permission levels for each function. Specify the web services to which user groups have access and specify the permission levels for each web service. Configure which screen flows are available for each user group.

Next, you can set up menus on the menus page of the User Groups form. Creating a menu structure for user groups is critical to database security and data integrity. In the system, the menu structure is displayed in a tree structure that extends to three levels: the Main Menu level, Sub-Menu level, and Screen level. The Main Menu level may contain up to seven items. The Sub-menu level may contain up to thirty items, and the items may be a mix of folders and screens. Finally, the Screen level may also contain up to thirty items, but the items must be screens.

Finally, you can set up scanner menus on the scanner menus page of the User Groups form to associate prompts to a menu structure. In the system, the menu structure is displayed in a tree structure that extends to three levels: the Main Menu level, Sub-Menu level, and DC Prompt level.
