¶ User special access.
In some systems like HrMs, and StoreMS the user can have a special access to filter some category, like special departments, or special store.
¶ Systems connected to an HrMS.
In case that the system is connected to an HrMS, the user creation changes a bit, as the users must be enrolled in the HR department to be delivered a login, so the admin should select the employee name from an auto complete field.
¶ Security settings
- Session timeout: the maximum time the user can leave the login without interaction.
- Security level:
- High: in the high security mode no user can read another user password even the admin.
- Custom: Admin can specify if the passwords are stored encrypted which leads to not being able to retrieve them, but depending on the privileges assigned( user-change-password), the user can create a new plain text password .
* Encrypt password: check to enable or disable password encryption.
Note: the password already encrypted cannot be converted to plain text that means once the system gets encrypted the process can not be undone.
