Introduction to User Maintenance

Introduction to User Maintenance

Access to JobBag is controlled via Users and Groups. While it is possible to set up a range of privileges for every user in each organisation, it is usual to find several users who require the same level of  privileges. For this reason, we define the privileges for a given 'Group' of people, then allocate each user to one group or another. A Group can be assigned any privilege.

A user is an individual who is given access to JobBag functions. Each user has a log-on name and a password.

Navigate to: File > Administration > Users maintenance

Administration Privileges

Decide who will have the privilege to access the user maintenance area. You can assign 'Administration' privileges to any group of staff. This group of users will be able to add users, set passwords, assign privileges to groups and amend password security settings. Administration Privilege

Create Groups

A group is one or more individuals who are assigned access to one or more functions in JobBag. Create a group of Users
