Creating New User Accounts

Create new user: From the EditorExtra -> AdminAdmin -> UsersEdit -> CreateContinue

Complete User Information Table

Note: set Comment field to:Default Project: AL

Matthias's code reads this field and uses it to assign the default project string for print number and unique number allocation. For all ALS users,it will be AL so the above string is appropriate.

Add User to Groups

In addition to creating the user, you need to add him/her to one or more groups. At the least they should be added to ALS_Designer.

If he will be self-approving, then he should also be added to the ALS_Approver group.

Add the user to the to the ALS_Designer group

Extra -> AdminAdmin -> UsersEdit -> GroupsDouble click on desired groupEdit -> Add Users/GroupsConfirm

The ALS Sender Group

We need to have the ability for authorized people to unreserve for others. The ALS_Sender group is used for this purpose (Sender for sending packets)

To implement it, we created a group with the same name as each user and added the ALS_Sender to this group in addition to the user him/herself.

As it turns out, thiskind of gives us carte blanche in a lot of ways besides reserving/unreserving. But I think Nicholas enjoys that power, so we should continue this tradition.

Create a group named after the user

From the Editor: Extra -> AdminAdmin -> GroupsEdit -> CreateEnter users nameSelect the user from the listConfirm

This procedure creates a group with the users name and then puts the user in that group.

Add the group “ALS_ Senders” to the group named

after the userFrom the Editor: Extra -> AdminAdmin -> GroupsDouble click on the group named after the userEdit -> Add Users/GroupsSelect “ALS_SendersConfirm

Note: you can also add the “ALS_Senders” to the users group at the same time the users group is created. See previous slide.
