Maintaining Users

About maintaining users

You choose Users from the Manage menu to maintain users. This opens the Manage Users dialog box, where you can perform the following maintenance functions:

• Give a user a new name.

• Delete a user.

• Choose Edit to access the Edit User dialog box, where you can change information that is associated with the user. For example, you can add or remove user names associated with the user, specify whether the user is authorized to create shareable documents, and change database information.

• Move a user to a new position in the list of users maintained by the system.

If you remove a user

When you delete a user or remove a user name, that user's database and icon are not automatically deleted. However, if a user that you have deleted attempts to log in, that user will receive an error message stating that they are not a valid Financial Analyzer user and the login process will be discontinued.

Deleting or removing a user, creates a user task and sends it to the Task Processor. If you are not running the Task Processor in the background, you must run it in the foreground to process the user task.
