Fig. 7.1 - Make security restriction assignments at the system users screen

Preventing unauthorized access to your system is very important for

maintaining system security. Therefore, system security access con-

trols are included as part of T/MonXM. System security access

privileges can be accessed by choosing the System Users option

from the File Maintenance menu (see Figure 7.1).

System users are designed to restrict access of the system to author-

ized users only. The following section explains the databasing of

system users. Security rights are defined for each user to set the

user's level of authorization. System profiles allow users to be put

into groups by assigning multiple users to a single profile. The

security rights for each user assigned to a profile are identical

between users and to that of the profile itself. This allows the pro-

file to be changed in a single spot and the changes to automatically

propagate down to all of the users assigned to it.

Once a user has been assigned to a profile the user's security set-

tings will turn green to indicate that they are locked to that of the

profile. The user's security settings cannot be edited while they are

green to ensure that all users assigned to a profile have identical set-

tings. If a variation of an existing profile is needed then a new pro-

file should be created to address that need.

It is not necessary for each user to be assigned to a profile. If secu-

rity rights for a user are unique to that user then there is no reason

to create a new profile. In this case the user would just leave the

Some security

fields correspond to spe-

cific Software Modules

and may not appear

unless that module is

present on your system.

The System Users screen has

been redesigned for better

function and clarity.

Users can now log on with

usernames instead of initials.

New long format users name

can be 3–20 characters long.

Passwords can now be 3–8

characters long
