Items in this window

Item Notes
System Security Enabled Select this check box to enable system security. Once you enable system security, every user must have a login name and a password to enter the system. If you are using Windows Authentication security mode, you do not have to enter a password when you start the application (unless you are the Supervisor) because your Windows or network password becomes your password for using the Sage Fixed Assets application.
Security Mode Use this field to select how the application handles the rules regarding user names and passwords. For more information, see Selecting a Security Mode.
Windows Authentication (recommended) Select this option to allow the Windows operating system to handle the rules regarding user names and passwords.
Application Authentication Select this option to allow the Sage Fixed Assets application to handle the rules regarding user names and passwords.
Name Use this field to select a company for which you want to view user profiles or enable company level security. This field displays the names of all companies in the current database. If you want to access a company in a different database, you must exit this window and open a company in the desired database. See Opening An Existing Company.

Tip: Select the <All Companies> option in the Name field to locate a user name when you don’t know the company to which the user has been assigned. Selecting the All Companies option displays all of the users in the system, whether or not they have been assigned a system or company profile.
Company Security Enabled Select this check box to enable security for the selected company. This check box is available only if you select the System Security Enabled check box.

Note: This check box is not available if you select the <All Companies> option in the Name field.
User Profiles List The system uses this field to display the profiles for each user in the selected company.
[Reset User Password] Select this button to reset the password for the selected user. Select the desired user in the User Profiles List, and then select the Reset User Password button. A message confirms that the password has been reset to the user name. For example, when you select user MSMITH and select the Reset User Password button, the password for that user becomes "MSMITH."

Note: This button is available only if you are using Application Authentication security mode.
[Rename User] Select this button to rename the selected user. Select the desired user in the User Profiles List, and then select the Rename User button. A window appears that allows you to enter a new user name and, if you selected Windows Authentication, a new domain.
