Assign Users to Security Groups

Security must be assigned to each user of the OIPA system. After the security groups are created, OIPA users are added and associated with a security group. A security manager will need to send the user name and password information to the user once the user has been added.

Steps to Add a New User

Click the Admin Explorer tab and open the Security | Application Security folders.
Right-click on the Users folder and select Add New.

Enter the user information as shown in the image below. This is where the user's log-in name and password are created. Send this information to the user once it has been saved.
Select the primary company the user will be working with.
Select the locale where the user is based. The locale determines the language that dynamic fields and transaction names will display in when the user logs into OIPA.
Select the Security Group to assign to the user.
Select Finish when all of the information has been selected. The user information will appear as an individual XML file under the User node.
