Username and Company Associations

When an OICE user account is created in the Rules Palette, it is associated with a primary company. Each user account has a login name and password. When the OICE user logs into the application, the primary company associated with that account record will be available for actions in OICE.

A user can have multiple accounts, one for each company the user plans to work with in OICE.

Make sure the user and the company have been assigned security privileges. The user record has a field for Security Group. This defines the security privileges the user has when logged into OICE using that user account. In addition to assigning a user to a security group, the company must also be assigned security. This is done through the Admin Explorer | Security | Application Security.

Log into OICE using the login name and password associated with the company the user wants to work with in OICE. The user will be able to work with the company identified in the user account as long as security was assigned to the company.
