Users Settings

Users are individuals who use the DPS application.

When you implement DPS security, you must create a user record for each individual who will use DPS. Each user has a unique username.

There are several methods for creating users:

• Recommended: Select Generate Users from the Actions menu on the Users form to create multiple users and associate usernames with employee numbers or records already entered in the Employees hub. This is the recommended method for creating users because you can create the usernames, assign users to a role, and generate passwords all at one time.
• Click + New User on the Users form to create new users who do or do not have an employee record in the Employees hub.
• Select Copy from the Actions menu on the Users form to copy an existing user's record, modify the record, and save changes to create a new user. When you copy a user, the new user automatically inherits the first user's access rights and privileges, including record level security.

DPS verifies a user when the user logs in to DPS with a username and password. After the initial log in:

• The user cannot change his or her username.
• The user can change his or her password.
