Setting Up Users

IMPORTANT: You must setup user groups before setting up users.

Create a user for each technician that will logon to a phone from the field. The user names you use must match the employee code in SuccessWare21® for the corresponding technician. Assign these users to either the SRTech, SRTechOnCall, or SRTechManager user groups.

User Logon Enabling

User Logon Enabling controls how users are allowed to access or logon to the SuccessWare21® database. It is possible for users to logon to the SuccessWare21® database via SuccessWare21®, or some third party agent. You can control this access in Setup | Users | Groups. The User Group form has a tab page for "Logon."

If you do not check the “Allow logon to SuccessWare21” checkbox, users that belong to this group will not be allowed logon permission to SuccessWare21. If you check/uncheck the checkbox for a agent in the third party agent list, users belonging to this group will be allowed/denied permission via the third party agent.

NOTE: Agents will not appear in User Group Setup until they have attempted access and registered with the SuccessWare21® database.

User Logon Enabling can be accessed from the 12th tab of the User Group Setup within SuccessWare21®.

User Group Setup is accessed from the Group button in the User Setup Form: from the main menu, "Setup | Users | Groups | Logon-12"
