Synchronizing User Access Information

After defining the access settings of one user, you can use that user as the source for synchronizing the access settings of multiple users. This way, if several users share many of the same access settings, you can update their settings simultaneously rather than one at a time.

To synchronize user access information:

In the User Maintenance window, select the user whose access settings you want to use as the source for synchronizing the settings of other users. Then click Sync.

This opens the Synchronize User Access Information window, which displays all the currently defined users in Stat as well as fields corresponding to each access tab in the User Access Information window (except the PS Options and User File Directories tabs, which contain user-specific information).

While holding down the <Shift> or <Ctrl> key, select each user you want to synchronize with the user you selected in step 1.

In each access field, select one of the following three options:

•

Copy/Replace: Replace the users’ access settings with the settings of the sync user

•

Copy/Add: Add the sync user’s access settings to the users’ existing settings. This way, whenever a new application, queue, object type, etc. is added, you can update the access settings of the sync user and then use this option to update multiple users at once.

•

No Action: Do not modify the selected users’ access settings

Click Sync.

User Password Security Settings

In the Other Options tab of the System table, you can define password parameters for all Stat users.

For more information, see System Maintenance . To open the System table, select Maintenance | General | System Table. Then select the Other Options tab.
