Feature

The Manage Users interface allows you to create Users in SI 2015 and assign them to User Groups with permissions that you choose. You can also create Mobile Users and Resources here. We are mixing around terminology here so here is an explanation:

 

User - a person granted the ability to log in/sign in to SI 2015, a "user" of SI 2015.

Resource - a person that can be assigned to Projects, Tasks, and Service Orders. You may or may not grant the ability to login to SI 2015 to a Resource.

Mobile User - a person granted the ability to log in/sign in to the Mobile Install website.

 

So, the logic statements here are: "Every User is a Resource, but not every Resource is a User" and "Not every User is a Mobile Install User and vice versa".

What are the benefits of this feature?

 

Each User needs login credentials to access functions/features of SI 2015. You control what access each User has via User Group permissions.

When to use this feature?

 

When you initially setup SI 2015, as well as adding new Users/Resources over time.

Remarks

 

You must be logged into an SI 2015 Client with a User assigned to the User Group "Administrators", or be in a User Group that has been granted permission to create Users, in order to do this.

 

You can create as many Users/Resources as you need, regardless of the number of SI 2015 licenses you have. Concurrent logins are what are determined by your number of SI 2015 licenses.

Details

 

This is the Manage Users form:

When you installed your SI 2015 Server, a default User Name and Password are automatically created within the Server Configuration Wizard (SCW), unless of course you changed it during the configuration:

 

User Name: admin

Password: admin

Add/Edit/Delete Users/Resources

This form allows you to Add, Edit, Delete Users/Resources. Click here for details on creating Users/Resources.

Disconnect

This allows you to disconnect users from the SI 2015 Server when needed. This is rarely used but could be necessary if a user chooses to Work Offline and then their laptop dies/is stolen.

 

Note: Any user that is assigned to the Administrators User Group automatically will "bump" out another random User if they log in to SI 2015. 

Categorization
