Configuring Logins Centrally

Learn how to configure logins centrally.

To configure a login centrally:

1. Select the desired rep in the Rep info area in the Rights module.
2. Select Central Login Configuration from the context menu.

   

3. Click on (New).
4. Enter the number of the station that the login applies to in the Stat. No field or click (Search) to search for the desired station.

   If you wish to define a login that is valid for all stations (e.g. for administrative users such as COM, WWW, IMP etc.), leave this field empty.

5. If a login has been configured for a user on the current station and you wish to use this login on all stations, enter the number of the current station in the Template (Station No.) field. The user's login data (from the Login (US) info area) is then transferred to the Central Login Configuration (ES) record.

   If you do not want to use templates, you can define individual logins for individual stations, see Configuring Logins without mmcfg.exe Access.

6. Enable Manage password globally to manage the password centrally; any changes to the password in the template login record are communicated to all other stations that this login is present on. If you do not enable the Manage password globally option, all changes except the password are communicated.
   Note: This function is only available if you are using a template.
7. If you are not using a template, you can configure a login for a specific branch office:
   1. Enter the user's login name in the Name field.
   2. Enter further login details (as described in Configuring Logins)
   3. Switch to the Module tab and select the modules the user should be granted access to.
   4. Switch to the Password tab and enter the password settings.
8. Save the record.

Once the login has been communicated, the user can log on to the corresponding station(s).
