    4. Panel image

    Complete the following information:

    User
    Enter the code for the user.
    Description
    Enter the user name.
    E-mail
    Enter the user’s e-mail address.
    Password
    Enter the password for the user. When creating a new user account, you may want to enter a “use once” password. By enabling the Force password change, the user will be forced to change the password at first sign on.
    Customer
    Select the customer number in IBS Enterprise that is associated to this user account. This means that this user will be able to access and change information for the selected IBS Enterprise customer number only. If you want this user account to have access to several customers’ data, then check the Several customers allowed box, described below. This will allow you to connect several customer numbers to this user account. (You do this via the Customers push button, which will be available in edit mode after creation of this account.)
    The following rules apply:
    • If no customer is selected/entered, the user will be prompted at sign on, where they must choose which customer to use.
    • If several customers are allowed, this customer is the default customer, if entered.
    • The Default NetStore user does not have any associated customer.
    User group
    If you want this user to be part of a user group, select that applicable from the drop down list.
    Language
    Select the language applicable for this user.
    Locale
    Select the locale that will be used to format and edit information (e.g., dates, times, amounts, etc.). This is similar to Regional settings on your PC.
    Assistance level
    Not currently used.
    Active
    Activate or inactivate this user account.
    Note: Inactivated accounts cannot sign on. A user account will automatically be inactivated when the maximum number of sign on attempts has been exceeded. This is defined on Application level.
    System administrator
    Check this box if this user should be allowed to access NetStore Administration.
    Several customers allowed
    Check this box if you want to connect several IBS Enterprise customer numbers to this user account. See illustration under sub-section Customer mapping.
    Password enabled
    NetStore allows you to bypass the entry of a password. If this user account should always enter a password at sign on, check this box.
    Force password change
    Check this box if you want the user of this account to change the password as soon as he/she accesses a page that requires sign on.

Click OK.

Assign attributes to a user

If the user is connected to a user group, the user will inherit any attributes (e.g., text, settings and links) assigned manually to the user group or taken from application level.

If you want to override these User group attributes or assign attributes to a user that does not belong to a group, do as follows:

  1. For the applicable user, click Edit.
  2. Select that applicable, choosing from among Settings, Text or Links (see About setting up and managing your site for instructions) and Customers.

    3. Note: If the user is allowed to see and work with data from several IBS Enterprise customers, you connect the applicable customer via the Customers button.
