==Enabled Users Options==
One or more of the following '''Enabled Users''' options can be set, depending on which settings are applied within the PAC and Member Authentication Controllers.
* To delete one or more configured options select the check box next to the relevant option(s) in the lower pane and click '''Delete'''.
* They cannot be edited. If a mistake is made you must delete the User Option and create it again.
===All Users to All Users===
If only a select number of users on the PAC are permitted to connect to the Authentication Member instance you must define each permitted user individually.

* ''If All Users is enabled on the Member server you can select the individual user in the PAC User field and select the specific user in the Authentication Member User field, or set the Member User to '''All Users'''. The result will be the same as the PAC will try to match the PAC selected user's e-mail address with an enabled user with the same e-mail address on the Member Server.
* You can configure multiple accounts on the PAC to connect to the same account on the member

*''Note: each account within an instance of [[SmartSimple]] is permitted to be logged in at only one workstation. Thus if one account is connected to the member using the shared account, if/when a second person logs in to the member with the same account (whether via the PAC or by logging in directly via the Login Page) they will disconnect the first user. Accordingly caution should be used when using this configuration of sharing an account on the member server. ===All Users to One User===Similar to configuring multiple named accounts in the PAC to connect to the same account on the member, you can only enable All Users on the PAC to connect to one named account on the member.:[[File:PACalltoone.png]]*''As above, each account within an instance of [[SmartSimple]] is permitted to be logged in at only one workstation. Thus if one account is connected to the member using the shared account, if/when a second person logs in to the member with the same account (whether via the PAC or by logging in directly via the Login Page they will disconnect the first user. Accordingly caution should be used when using this configuration of sharing an account on the member server. 
==Auditing==
Both the Primary Authentication Controller and Authentication Member record the identity of the authenticated account on the PAC instance, the system authenticated account on the Member instance, and the date and time of connection. This can be access via reporting.
==Notes==
* If the PAC for a given member instance doesn't have a Primary Authentication Controller User enabled for '''All Users''', and your account is not specifically listed you will NOT see the server listed on the '''Authenticated Servers''' and you will NOT have access to the instance via the Authentication Controller.* If more than one '''Enabled Users Options''' applies to a user account the '''All Users''' setting (if configured) will take precedence.
