Enter a unique username to clearly distinguish the new user from existing users. The username is case-sensitive. This is a required field.

Select to mark the user as Active.

User passwords are established to ensure application and system security. Passwords are case-sensitive. As you can see in the example, this field does not display the values entered on the screen. Instead, individual keystrokes are replaced by asterisks (*) to protect the password from being viewed. Once the user's password is entered, it can only be reset by an system administrator who must overwrite the existing password.

Verify the accuracy of the user's password by retyping it in this field. Again, individual keystrokes will be replaced by asterisks (*) to protect the password from being viewed.

Select a Shift to associate with the specified user.

This is an optional setting.

Select one of the available Locales.

Locale settings affect how information is formatted and displayed on a user's screen. The default Locale is "USEnglish", but multinational companies may have multiple Locales defined.

Select to prevent user from exporting display contents.

The "Export Contents" option can be found on right-click menus throughout the application. If selected, the user will be blocked from using the "Export Contents" option.

Select to require users to use enhanced authentication when they log in to the application.

Enhanced authentication adds a layer to the authentication process used to log in to the system. When this feature is turned on, user passwords are stored in the database in a modified form. The end result is that users may only log in to the database using the xTuple Client. If users try to access the database using a tool other than an xTuple application, they will not be able to connect. User passwords entered when logging in via the xTuple Client will not be recognized if the xTuple Client is not used. If enhanced authentication is specified for a user, that user must also select the "Use Enhanced Authentication" flag in their log in options. If enhanced authentication is not specified, users will be permitted to log in to the database using database tools other than the xTuple Client.

Select if you want the user to have access only to the Shop Floor Workbench—and to no other screens.

If selected, the Shop Floor Workbench will be the only screen the user will have access to when they log in to the database. The log in screen for this user will be the same as for all users. However, once logged in, the user will only be able to see and use the Shop Floor Workbench. This option will override any other privileges which may have been assigned previously to the user.

To remove a user's granted privileges for a specified module, highlight a granted privilege and then click the REVOKE button. The highlighted privilege will be removed from the user's list of granted privileges. Double-clicking on a privilege will also remove it from the granted privileges column. You can remove all granted privileges for a specified module by clicking on the REVOKE ALL button.
