| + | #REDIRECT [[User#From Their Profile]] |
− | If you wish a [[User|user]] to log into [[SmartSimple]] you need to enable the login feature.
| |
− | | |
− | 1. Click the '''Settings''', '''Roles & Access''' [[Menu|menu]].
| |

− | [[Image:AccessTypeScreenShotJuly29.JPG]]
| |
− | | |
− | There are four access types available:
| |
− | | |
− | * '''Administrative or Portal Interface''' - Provides access to the system to the extent permitted through the [[User|user's]] membership of specific [[Role|roles]].
| |
− | * '''Web Service Client Access''' - Account type used to access data in a SmartSimple instance via an [[API]] (Application Programming Interface). Does not give access to SmartSimple interface directly.
| |
− | * '''No Access''' – Contact cannot log into the system.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Administrator User Types==
| |
− | | |
− | The [[User|user]] type fields control the administrative level of access.

| |

| |
− | The [[User|user]] type field can be set to one of three types:
| |
− | | |
− | {{UserTypeDescription}}
| |
− | | |
− | <u>'''Setting Login Restrictions'''</u>
| |
− | | |
− | You can restrict a [[User|user’s]] access to a specific workstation by setting the IP address of the workstation in their profile, or alternatively “lock” the [[User|user]] to the next workstation that they use to log into the system.

− | <u>'''Setting an Expiry Date'''</u>
| |

− | ==Setting or Sending a User’s Password==
| |
− | | |
− | Once you have enabled the [[User|user’s]] access, you have the option to either set a new [[Password|password]] or send a new [[Password|password]].
| |
− | | |
− | [[Image:Viewit7.png]]
| |
− |
| |
− | * You can reset a user’s [[Password|password]] by clicking the '''Set Password''' button in the [[User|user]] profile.
| |
− | * You can click the '''Send Password''' button on the [[User|user]] window. This option will generate and send a new [[Password|password]] to the user’s email address.
| |
− | You will need to use the '''Send Password''' feature:
| |
− | * If you wish to enable [[User|user]] access after you have set up the [[User|user]] without access.
| |
− | When you first create the user and set the '''Login''' status to '''enable''', then the email message will be sent immediately.
| |
− | * If the [[User|user]] forgets their [[Password|password]] and does not use the '''forget password''' link on the login page.
| |
− | | |
− | If you attempt to enable a [[User|user]] but do not have sufficient licenses, a warning message will be displayed.
| |
− | | |
− | You can fix this problem by going to the [[Configuration Menu|Configuration]], [[Global Settings]], and '''Licensing''' tab and increase the number of licenses.
| |
− | | |
− | ==Setting the Access Level==
| |
− | | |
− | You will now enable this user’s access level.
| |
− | | |
− | 1. Set the '''Access Type''' to '''Administrative''' or '''Portal''' Interface.
| |
− | | |
− | 2. Click the '''Set Password''' button.
| |
− | | |
− | The '''Set Password''' window is displayed.
| |

| |
− |
| |
− | 3. Set the [[Password|password]] to something you will remember.
| |
− | | |
− | 4. Click the '''Submit''' button.
| |
− | | |
− | 5. Click the '''Close''' button.
| |
− | | |
− | In theory, the [[User|user]] could now log into the system, but as you have not set any [[Menu|menu]] permissions they would not have any access to any features or even the menu.
